ORGANICS ADVISORY SERVICE

Empowering Melbourne Hospitality Businesses Transform Food Waste into Opportunity

From June 2024 to June 2025, we proudly partnered with Moonee Valley City Council to deliver innovative organics advisory services through their Let’s Go Zero program. This collaboration was a tremendous learning success, helping numerous local hospitality businesses look at ways to reduce their environmental impact and implement cost-effective organic waste solutions.

What’s Next: Building on this success, we’re excited to expand an independent advisory service across Melbourne’s hospitality sector. While our free onsite assessments through the Moonee Valley partnership have concluded, we continue to offer a free phone and email advisory, with affordable further in-depth support to help your business source and implement circular solutions.

Our soft plastics program is live!

Do something drastic & cut the plastic. Single-use plastic food packaging is a major contributor to the global solid waste problem. Although the food industry is developing strategies to reduce single-use plastic packaging, we need to better understand consumer awareness and attitudes about the issue.

SEE THE CIRCULAR JOURNEY HERE

When you toss a plastic bottle into your recycling bin, there’s no guarantee it actually gets recycled. In fact, odds are, it doesn’t. 

This is one of our key priority streams, where by using the same containers, in the same form, over and over again – it eases demand for virgin materials, reduces energy needed to spit out thousands of new plastic bottles or cardboard boxes, and prevents heaps of trash from ending up in landfills or oceans.

They’re bulky, large in size and consumes large amounts of space.

We use paper and cardboard in so much packaging and stacks of it still ends up in landfill, resulting in stacks of methane production, a major greenhouse gas.

When when you recycle cardboard waste and keep it free of oil and contamination, you end up saving ample amounts of water and energy and minimise trees being chopped down to get virgin material.

Cigarette butts are the world’s most littered plastic item, with around 7 billion dropped in Australia every year. In partnership with Fungi Solutions, CigCycle collected cigarette butts will undergo a Myco-Remediation program (mushrooms, FYI) at their Thornbury myco-facility for research and development for new circular materials.
