In the pursuit of improved sustainability outcomes, food and beverage outlets, hospitality establishments and schools across Australia have engaged LID Consulting to prepare comprehensive towards zero waste minimisation and management plans. Recent projects include:
- Franklin Wharf Elizabeth St Pier in Hobart
- Cottesloe Pier in Western Australia
- French Island Eco Resort
- Ivanhoe Grammar
- Mentone Grammar
- Yarra Valley Grammar
- Melbourne Skyfarm
- St Kilda Pier Kiosk Redevelopment
While LID Consulting regularly delivers waste consulting for new or refurbished building town planning / development applications, these towards zero waste plans go beyond simple waste management, addressing higher standards of sustainability.
This requirement is typically due to the sensitivity of their locations, strong sustainability and low waste values, ambitious council regulations, the need for differentiation from standard waste management practices, and/or constraints related to waste storage space and collection costs.
The recommendations are game changers that are available to most operations, with some planning and consideration. Reducing packaging for supplied materials and displaying products based on packaging recyclability are just two of the contributing factors that help build up a plan for targeting near zero waste.
Our experience in operational waste systems, recycling infrastructure and construction waste minimisation allows us to support projects pursuing:
- circular economy outcomes
- advanced recycling systems
- organics recovery
- operational waste reduction
- sustainability strategies
- Green Star initiatives
- precinct-scale waste thinking.
We understand that every project has different operational realities, budgets and sustainability ambitions. Our role is to identify practical opportunities that move projects towards better long-term waste and resource recovery outcomes.
