National Recycling Week
Case Studies
As part of National Recycling Week, Planet Ark has prepared a series of case studies of businesses and organisations that have successfully implemented recycling and green initiatives in their workplaces. The initiatives range from small to large scale, involving one office to a whole company. These case studies showcase the great environmental efforts of a selection of Australian businesses, and demonstrate the simple yet highly effective actions that businesses can take to improve their environmental outcomes.

These business case studies aim to provide inspiration, encouragement and examples of good practice to other individuals, green teams and businesses that are looking to take steps to reduce their impact on the environment.
