Bin Trim
The Bin Trim program provides free support and advice to NSW businesses to maximise recycling and minimise waste to landfill.
Roughly 70 per cent of items in a business’s general waste bin can be reused or recycled. From cardboard, paper and plastic through to food waste – so much of this ends up in the general waste bin, when it could be avoided, reused or recycled. Diverting recyclable material from general waste can also reduce waste costs to a business.
A trained Bin Trim assessor is able to work with businesses to identify areas where waste could be turned into a resource, for example, one businesses off cuts or excess could be feed stock for another business and on-sold, creating a benefit for both businesses.
Circular Connect
Introducing Circular Connect: Connecting Our Region Through a Circular Economy
RAMJO is excited to initiate Circular Connect, an online platform designed to connect businesses, organisations and communities across the region and support a more sustainable and circular economy. This initiative is proudly funded by the NSW Government through the NSW Environment Protection Authority
Circular Connect makes it easier to discover local resources, identify opportunities to reuse materials and connect with others who can turn waste into valuable resources. By bringing information and connections together in one place, the platform aims to help reduce waste, keep valuable materials in circulation and encourage collaboration across the region.
Discover Resources Through the Materials Mapping Portal
The Circular Connect materials mapping portal helps users identify local businesses, services and resources that can support more sustainable practices. From finding opportunities for reuse or repurpose, the materials mapping portal makes it easier to explore what materials are available across the region.
By making these connections more visible, the mapping tool can help businesses and organisations identify opportunities to reduce waste, save resources and explore new ways of working together.
Connect, Collaborate and Create Opportunities
Circular Connect is more than just a map. The online platform provides a space for businesses, councils, organisations and community members to discover opportunities, share information and build connections that support a circular economy.
A circular economy focuses on keeping materials and resources in use for as long as possible, reducing waste and making better use of what we already have. Through Circular Connect, RAMJO aims to encourage regional collaboration and support practical actions to keep materials in use locally and avoid waste to landfill.
Get Involved
Circular Connect is an opportunity for businesses and organisations across the RAMJO region to showcase their services, identify potential partnerships and be part of the shift towards a more resource-efficient future.
