Hawk Print is excited to introduce Hawk Zero, a sustainability initiative helping Shopping Centre clients achieve Net Zero targets by eliminating the environmental impact of printing, signage, and hoarding waste. In collaboration with Visionary Green, we offer a closed-loop recycling program designed to divert tonnes of waste annually from landfills. The approved PVC-free vinyl signage is upcycled into eco-friendly G-Board. Each G-Board is made from 7kg of vinyl waste, 700 plastic bags, and 200 cartons. This innovative material replaces traditional hoarding and construction materials and can be reused or remanufactured, creating a circular economy. Not only ESG-friendly but also carbon-negative.
We provide actionable insights from video data through the perfect combination of your cameras and sensors and our open platform software and analytics — always with a responsible mindset and a people-first approach.
TOMRA Collection is a leading innovator in the circular economy and Clean Loop Recycling. Founded on the invention of the world’s first reverse vending machine, we are now responsible for approximately 80,000 installations across more than 60 markets. From expert advice for reverse vending providers and new deposit return regions to engaging recycling experiences for end-users, you can rely on TOMRA for the best reverse vending machines for collecting aluminium cans and glass and plastic bottles for recycling.
