Zero Waste Network welcomes new members Kimbriki Environmental Enterprises and CitizenBlue Pty Ltd for 2018
Citizen Blue (NSW)
With the container deposit scheme having begun in NSW in December 2017, CitizenBlue saw an opportunity to wage their own war on waste through opening a Return & Earn depot where Sydney commercial and private customers can get their 10c refund on eligible containers. , and do their bit to ensure no plastic waste enters our waterways. CitizenBlue's mission is No Plastic Waste to Water, and is owned by its member charities Landcare NSW, Boomerang Alliance, SeaLife Trust, Surfrider, Totally Environment Centre and Resource Recovery Australia.
By developing systems to enable schools, pubs, clubs, sporting grounds, event venues and festivals to collect and redeem their waste containers, not only are they contributing to keeping litter out of waterways, but directing all proceeds as funding to their member groups. We're excited to be working with CitizenBlue and looking forward to watching how the CDS scheme as a whole affects the amount of waste ending up in landfill.
