Supporting your business’ waste transformation, be it big or small!
Waste is a wicked problem and a consideration for every business. By understanding what waste is produced and where, your organisation can identify changes that will save money, and help your company become better equipped to handle and prevent waste, sustainably.
At Sustainably, we recognise that no two waste systems are the same, and each one is as unique as your business. We tend to start the journey with a Waste System Assessment which is a detailed examination of your waste. However, it doesn’t need to start or end there, as our years of industry expertise mean we can shape our approach to examine any nook or cranny of your waste system. Our service offering is so comprehensive and diverse we guarantee you’ll have a tailored experience collaborating with our team!
Below you can find out more about how we can help you do waste, Sustainably.

As waste experts, we’re not afraid of getting our hands dirty!
Our Waste System Assessment is broader than the traditional waste audit which only looks at waste stream and materials. We conduct a detailed examination of all aspects of your business’ waste system to identify key opportunities for change. Our approach includes a site-based assessment evaluating relevant waste practices and equipment, analysing your waste collection data, and conducting a comprehensive waste audit. Collectively, this information provides baseline data, insights, and opportunities for a Waste Reduction Programme.
Not looking for a full Waste System Assessment?
We can also customise our approach to focus on a particular impact area of your waste system including stand-alone Waste Audits and/or Solid Waste Audit Protocols (SWAP) for businesses requiring waste quantitative data to support environmental accreditation applications and annual audits.

Identifying opportunities for change.
Once we’ve rummaged through your rubbish, our team of experts will develop a Waste Reduction Programme that is specific to your business, outlining the pathway to improving waste outcomes. Your Waste Reduction Programme will include insights and actions relating to our four Ps - place, people, pathways, and partnerships.
Using this information, we will detail a series of key projects that will help set your strategy and goals for waste prevention, minimisation, and landfill diversion. Your customised Waste Reduction Programme will lead you towards the delivery of improved outcomes for waste expenditure, staff engagement, and the environment!
Are you already on your journey, but need some guidance or insights?
It doesn’t matter if you have already started your waste minimisation journey, or have already completed a Waste Audit, we can still map your current status with your future goals to support better outcomes. We can review your prior assessment results and/or current waste initiatives to identify what can help enable you to meet your waste objectives.
Our flexible approach means we’ll support your company to create change whether big or small, tailoring our solutions to your needs, aspirations, and budget allocations.

Educating for the future!
Education is an important tool for igniting interest, shaping decisions, and influencing actions we take. To support you with this endeavor, we offer corporate and school education packages that will empower your people to become curious and engaged with addressing waste.
We have delivered ‘lunch and learn’ sessions tailored to Sustainability events including Recycling Week, Plastic-Free July, and Earth Day, as well as for the recent kerbside collection changes taking place throughout the country. With a background in organisational training and development, we have also delivered workshops, interactive demonstrations, conferences presentations, and online training sessions.
Waste education plays a crucial role within a business as its impact can extend beyond the workplace offering sustainability benefits for people at home and in the community. We can coordinate outreach activities such as beach/river/street clean-ups, waste-related excursions, other volunteer opportunities.
