Thank you for coming to our talk at the Woodford Folk Festival 2025! And if you've landed here some other way, you're very welcome too :)

Here's a roundup of the policy and legislative issues we discussed, relevant sources - and how to vote for Australia's best and worst packaging - entries are ...

You can't stop progress. But surely we can learn from our mistakes, and help the community in the next residential sanctuary, live a little more ‘circular’.

Next door to my urban metropolis apartment which I bought new, I've been watching the next residential precinct slowly take form – from the de...

It's the lazy days of the Aussie Summer. Or so I thought!

I feel like every second person I chat to is cleaning out their home, basement or attic, and that means a lot of furniture, toys, sporting goods and household items are about to become homeless.

I can see why people might put things on the ...

It’s that most wonderful time of year, when Australians get their ‘festive’ on, and are out and about in the sun, surf and ripping up dance floors.

All this frolicking can equal more takeaways and treats on the go with loved ones, and you know what that means …. more single use packaging.

Whilst a...

The good news is, we grow enough food in Australia to feed our population three times over.

The not so good news, is that we waste 7.6 million tonnes of food annually, and ~70% of this could have been eaten. This hurts our economy too, food waste costs Australia $36.6 Billion, per year.

If you’re just starting out, I wholeheartedly welcome you to the fun and games. If you’ve been cutting back on your waste already – halllloooooooo my fellow garbologist, rock on you good thing.

Cutting down on your waste can feel too hard, borin...

The Doggie Stork is coming - hurrah! If you’re anything like I was, it was a long time coming, with much research and excitement!

As I explained during my presentation at the Australian Waste Conference: with any young soul or new member of the household, comes more more waste.

I first bought a veggie box to reduce my food miles. That was as far as my thinking went. Though I was surprised and delighted once purchased, and understood the full offering, how it helped me achieve my circularity commitments - explained within this article.

This particular service is a gate-to-...

I reckon it’s about time for a work related chuckle to get through the finish line.

The following is a collection of favourite side-splitting clips relevant to the circular economy with a little musing from yours truly, of course.

If you’re not someone who indulges in comedy regularly, be warned t...

You bought the unpackaged celery! Yay. Go you good thing, but there's a few things to action now. 

This week down under, the National food waste summit is in action, following intense domestic focus on soft plastic.

Food waste and packaging are a conversation in tandem.

Buy sans packaging? That’s...

Last week was a wake-up call, myself included.

I’ve relied on soft plastics recycling to 'offset' some of my purchasing habits and meet my own personal waste reduction commitments.

As devastated friends and family turned to me with that “what do I do now” look in their eyes, I reflected on all the...
