In the February 2018 edition of [Shopping and Retail](http://www.shoppingandretail.co.za/2018/02/26/profitable-waste-management-a-close-collaboration-between-client-and-service-provider/) magazine, WastePlan CEO Bertie Lourens writes about profitable shopping centre waste management. The nature and importance of the relationship between a client and their waste management service provider is a central theme together with waste reduction and the value of recyclable items.

Lourens writes that “It is imperative to choose a company that has waste reduction at the core of its business model.” He continues: “Reducing and recycling waste is the primary objective. The more WastePlan recycles the more rebates our clients get back each month. The business relationship is a partnership where both parties win financially through the reduction of waste volumes.”

Case studies at [Lakeside Mall](http://www.lakesidemall.co.za/) as well as a mall in the Western Cape are referenced in the article.
