Our Commitment to Environmental Responsibility

At Tandex, environmental responsibility is at the heart of how we work. As an Australian family-owned business, we are committed to reducing our impact on the planet through sustainable practices and continuous improvement.

Environmental responsibility is more than just a guiding principle at Tandex — it is a commitment woven into every part of our business. For over 50 years, we have delivered water treatment solutions that not only improve system efficiency and compliance but also contribute to protecting the communities and environments we serve.

As a family-owned Australian company, we recognise the importance of preserving natural resources for future generations. We see environmental responsibility as a shared journey: every decision, whether in manufacturing, service delivery, or customer support, is an opportunity to reduce impact and make a positive difference.

Our goal is simple — to provide innovative, effective water treatment solutions while respecting the delicate balance of the environment. By working together with employees, suppliers, and customers, we continue to evolve our practices, ensuring that sustainability remains at the forefront of how we operate today and into the future.

At Tandex, environmental responsibility is not just a statement — it is demonstrated through practical actions that shape the way we operate. From how we manufacture our products to how we help customers manage their own environmental impact, we embed sustainability into everyday processes. Our initiatives focus on reducing waste, re-using valuable resources, and ensuring that our customers are supported in meeting their own environmental obligations. Together, these efforts create meaningful, measurable improvements for both business and the environment.

Smarter Manufacturing

Our manufacturing processes are designed with environmental responsibility in mind. All production includes the capture and re-blending of tank wash-down water, reducing waste and conserving resources.

Recycling and Re-Use

A practical example of our commitment is the Drum Recycling Program, which helps customers return empty chemical containers safely.
Drums that cannot be re-used are laundered, shredded, and recycled into new materials — reducing landfill and cutting down on plastic waste.

Supporting Our Customers

Our responsibility extends beyond our facilities. We help customers manage wastewater safely and prevent spills into stormwater systems, improving outcomes across every site where Tandex operates.

At Tandex, environmental responsibility means looking closely at every part of our operations and finding ways to minimise impact. Reducing our footprint is an ongoing process that combines larger, strategic changes with smaller, everyday actions that add up over time. From the vehicles we drive to the choices we make in our offices, we are committed to operating more efficiently and responsibly.

Energy and Fleet

Our service fleet is predominantly diesel-dedicated for efficiency and lower emissions. As new technologies emerge, we continue to explore opportunities to adopt cleaner and more sustainable transport.

Everyday Choices

Environmental responsibility is also reflected in our day-to-day operations. We print on scrap paper where possible, switch off unused lights and heating, rely on integrated computer systems to reduce paper use, and provide digital service reports through handheld devices instead of printed books. These small actions collectively deliver meaningful reductions in resource use.

Innovation plays a key role in our approach to environmental responsibility, and we know progress is best achieved when it is shared. From smarter chemical management to digital reporting systems, we continually develop solutions that deliver results for clients while reducing environmental impact. Just as importantly, we encourage collaboration with employees, customers, and suppliers, welcoming ideas and feedback that help us find new ways to reduce our footprint and protect the environment. By working together, we can ensure that sustainability remains central to everything we do.

At Tandex, environmental responsibility is part of everything we do. Join us in making practical choices today that create a more sustainable tomorrow.
