National Recycling Week is here, and it’s the perfect time to rethink the importance of recycling and how we manage our waste. While Australians are eager to recycle, many of us still make common recycling mistakes that can spoil the process, like tossing soft plastics into kerbside bins, leaving food scraps on recyclables, or assuming everything with a recycling symbol is good to go.
National Recycling Week is more than an awareness campaign. It’s a practical reminder that small changes across thousands of workplaces can lead to massive collective impact.

While bulk buying has long been associated with cost savings, the environmental benefits are equally compelling. By cutting down on packaging waste, minimising transport emissions, and streamlining inventory management, bulk purchasing can significantly reduce your office’s carbon footprint and overall waste.
