Hamburger Recycling brings managers together

The Hamburger Recycling business unit of Austria’s Prinzhorn Group invited its recycling depot managers to gather for a training and knowledge-sharing day in October at one of its plants in Zagreb, Croatia.

Operations managers from more than 50 locations came together to share expertise, best practices and workshop on useful knowledge.

The program included visits to two Hamburger Recycling depots in Croatia. In Zagreb, attendees toured a Paper for Recycling Competence Center that was opened last November.

In Sveta Helena, about 18 miles from Zagreb, the Hamburger employees toured what the company's new semi-automated sorting line for light plastic packaging scrap, which opened in April.

According to Hamburger Recycling, key discussions at the employee get-together focused on operational resilience, human resources and health and safety initiatives and the status of current and future projects being undertaken by the firm.

“This meeting reinforced our commitment to efficiency, sustainability and continuous improvement across all depots,” the company says.

Hamburger Recycling is the materials collection, sorting and processing arm of the Austria-based Prinzhorn Group.
