Schools addressing organic waste challenges

We are exploring the systems, challenges and opportunities for organic waste avoidance, reduction and management in NSW schools. Our research will inform recommendations to the NSW Environment Protection Authority who are working with institutions to address organic waste source separation targets (2025-2027) under the NSW Waste and Sustainable Materials Strategy. 

We are interested in learning from the practical experiences of teachers and school communities (support staff, General Assistants,P&C) about your success stories, your challenges and support that could enable you to effectively tackle your organic waste challenges.

Sustainability educators and industry practitioners working with schools are invited share their insights and ideas for change: 

 

Sustainable Schools NSW acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present. 

We are committed to honouring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
