PERMANENT ISOLATION CERTIFICATE: THE TELLUS PIC™
Tellus is the only company in Australia that can offer a waste owner a Permanent Isolation Certificate (or Tellus PIC™), which certifies facts required by auditors under AASB137 to permanently remove disposal liability from a waste owner’s balance sheet. Tellus’ ability to issue this certificate is backed by two of the “Big Four” accounting firms and also by our world-class safety case.
