Recycling Tips

Globally, the focus on recycling has never been greater. As this focus on resource recovery has increased, it has become increasingly apparent that producers and consumers of disposable products need to take responsibility for the things that we don't want or need any more.

For many years we have known that disposing of waste to landfill will not be sustainable in the long-term and, as a society, we must be looking at ways to better manage how we deal with waste.

As part of the global community our ultimate aim should be to minimise waste to landfill by preventing the creation of waste and recovering reusable resources by recycling waste into a usable commodity.

Improving recycling in Australia will not only reduce our carbon footprint, but reduce the dependence we have on non renewable resources.

See SITA's tips on making a difference in your own environment today.
