From high street to high rise, we take an iterative circular design process in our engagement campaigns and help get your community involved and active in climate action. We analyse local demographic data, map waste streams, gauge precinct interest and appetite for change.
We consult for local councils, property developers and managers across multi unit and mixed use developments, office blocks, and community groups.
Our team understands complex issues in the built environment with our place based design framework and integrated backgrounds in architecture, social and urban planning, community building and zero waste design.
We have a range of composting waste-in-place solution providers across food recycling technology, composting tumblers, worm farm infrastructure and all the essential compost enabling products for a wide range of spatial requirements.
We assess food waste volumes to pinpoint the right composting solution and help you implement it: from determining user flows, coordinating onsite set up installation and how will work with your community to champion behaviour change.
We can help maximise the number of source separation streams to enable the greatest environmental outcomes, and assist you in procurement and developing waste management plans.
A collaborative industry partnered approach to waste from high streets to high rise. Below are the Material Streams we are tackling, select the stream to see where it goes…
We’ve built a pretty awesome network of upstream and downstream circular suppliers who share our regenerative thinking and outlook with their products and services. Our Circular Supplier Network strive to close the loop so you might find the right fit for your business supply chain.

Our metal program launches in 2023.
Aluminium foil + cans are the quintessential easy and infinite recyclable material, as long as it’s captured (and in some cases, not contaminated). There’s no draconian number-sorting scheme, no lids to remove, and usually the quickest of rinses serves to get them clean.
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.
We support urban farming in a localised food system to future proof our cities.
Urban agriculture is a solution to many environmental problems related to food. In particular, shorter transportation distances have been associated with lower carbon footprint, food packaging and food wastage.
We waste around 7.6 million tonnes of food across the supply and consumption chain.
This wastage equals about 312kg per person, equivalent to around one in five bags of groceries or $2,000 to $2,500 per household per year. To stop the insanity, this is what we’re doing about it…. together.
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.
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.
Victoria’s single use plastic ban is coming!
We’ll all be staring at our packaging with this question: “can we eat it or compost it”? Once this bans hits, we say yes to reuse first, but if all else fails then compostability is where it’s at. Not all products are created or decompose the same, and you want to use packaging that’s guaranteed to decompose into natural elements, leaving no toxicity in soil. (Say no to wannabe compostable bioplastics)
Your compostable cup or take away container should transform it into organic matter within 3 months if you save these for a compost pile!
Of the glass recycled in Australia, 85% is made back into glass containers.
Glass is infinitely recyclable, when it’s not broken. Broken glass can become a contaminant if it’s mixed in with cardboard and paper. We advocate for a glass only recyclable bin to keep the circular glass economy going.
