Carlton’s Sustainability Partner, Visy, is a proud sponsor and participant in National Recycling Week - November 10th to 16th.

National Recycling Week is a leading campaign in the effort to ensure an environmentally sustainable future for not only Australia, but also our planet.

The first National Recycling Week was held in 1995 and over the years it has grown to be an important event on Australia's environmental calendar.

Through a number of key initiatives, National Recycling Week promotes and educates Australians about the benefits of recycling. This includes basic tips on what can and can't be recycled through to highlighting the valuable role recycling plays in the fight against climate change.

Visy Household Recycling Hints:

1. Do not place recyclables in plastic bags. Use a tub or basket to transport recyclables from your kitchen to your recycling bin to ensure your recycling efforts are not wasted

2. In order to conserve water, it is not necessary to rinse out containers but please ensure they are clean of food scraps.

3. It is not necessary to peel labels off containers as they are taken out during the recycling process.
