At COBA, sustainability is not just a target — it’s part of how we operate every single day. From improving manufacturing efficiency to reducing our environmental footprint, we’re committed to doing business responsibly and making a measurable difference.
Our latest Waste Stream Performance Report showcases an exciting milestone in that journey. Over the past year, our Europark facility has achieved more than 91% diversion of waste away from landfill, with over 69% of all waste fully recycled. That’s an incredible 20,492 kg of material that has been responsibly managed through improved segregation and recycling systems.

A Smarter Approach to Waste

This achievement reflects the success of our collaboration with a new waste management supplier. In the early stages of setup, most materials were going into general waste as we worked to put the right systems in place. Today, we’ve established dedicated collection streams for plastic, paper, cardboard, wood, food, and general waste, ensuring that materials are processed in the most sustainable way possible.
By separating waste at the source, we’re not only reducing what goes to landfill but also helping create new value from recycled materials. Every kilogram we divert contributes to a more circular economy and supports COBA’s long-term environmental objectives.

Building on Progress

While these results are already impressive, this is just the beginning. As our systems continue to mature and staff across the site adapt to the new processes, we expect to see even stronger performance in the months ahead. Continuous improvement is a core part of our sustainability strategy, and we’re excited to keep pushing those percentages higher.

A Team Effort

Behind these numbers is a great deal of teamwork. From operations and facilities teams to our environmental partners, everyone has played a part in achieving this success. Their ongoing effort ensures that sustainability remains a shared responsibility across our company.
At COBA, we believe small actions lead to big change — and this milestone proves what can be achieved when we work together with purpose.
Together, we’re making a lasting impact — for our people, our community, and our planet.
