JOIN US!
Australia, we are in a waste crisis! Australia’s waste is growing at TWICE the rate of its population. Every MINUTE we produce 1 TONNE of plastic waste. Every HOUR we throw out 36,000kg of clothes. Every DAY we throw out enough bottles and cans to STRETCH ACROSS AUSTRALIA. By 2050 there will be MORE PLASTIC in the ocean THAN FISH.
– We’re using up valuable resources
– We’re making climate change worse
– We’re messing up the environment
– We’re making ourselves sick
This is a BIG problem that needs BIG solutions. Individual actions just aren’t enough
– A lot of waste happens before products hit the shelves…
– We often don’t have low waste options available…
– There are a lot of things that could be repaired or recycled, but we don’t have the services in Australia…
– Our recycling system is confusing, and even when we figure it out things don’t necessarily get recycled…
– Reducing your waste in our current system can be HARD, and not available to everyone…
Australia needs a waste system that is
– COMPREHENSIVE: The best possible system for all waste, for all Australians
– TRANSPARENT: A clear system we have confidence in
– EASY TO USE: A system that makes it simple for all Australians to do the right thing
We are bringing people together to create the waste system we need. We are based in Melbourne, Victoria and come from many different walks of life. We are all passionate Keep Cup users and recycling sorters, but got increasingly frustrated as we found we couldn’t have the impact we wanted. Now we are using the power of grassroots activism to hold government and industry to account.
