Today, on International Blue Collar Workers’ Day, we celebrate the incredible people who keep our recycling industry running. From sorting and processing materials to operating machinery and ensuring sustainability, these professionals are the true champions of the circular economy. Their hard work doesn’t just keep waste out of landfills - it gives resources a second life and helps protect our planet for future generations.
Hamburger Recycling offers a strong package of benefits and development opportunities for blue-collar employees, from Structured Onboarding, Professional Growth and Fair Compensation, to Employee Talks for Blue Collars and a division wide Health & Safety Directive.
In 2025, Hamburger Recycling Development for Blue Collars project introduced Individual Employee Talks across all locations in 2025.
Our blue-collar employees engaged in talks, exceeding divisional targets.
Feedback from workers varied from feeling valued, supported, and motivated, to motivation for higher commitment and productivity.
Investing in blue-collar development isn’t just good for employees - it strengthens the entire recycling value chain.
Empowered workers drive efficiency, safety, and innovation, making sustainability a reality.
Without our blue-collar colleagues, recycling wouldn’t be possible. Thank you for turning challenges into opportunities for a greener world! We will!
