CASEY CATCH UP

Circular Casey

The City of Casey is providing funding and support to seven projects led by innovative start-ups, businesses, and social enterprises to solve key environmental challenges, while also providing immediate benefits to the community.

Here’s a snapshot of the initiatives residents and local businesses can get involved with:

To tackle food waste, Reground will collect used coffee grounds from Casey cafés and deliver them for free to local community gardens, schools, and home gardens to be repurposed as fertiliser. Households can sign up for the OzHarvest program, Use It Up, to learn simple habits to reduce food waste and save money at home.

Forkful will onboard Casey hospitality businesses onto their app, allowing them to sell food at the end of the day at a reduced price to prevent food waste and provide Casey residents with access to healthy food for a lower price.

To enable a more sustainable construction and demolition sector, Activ group, in collaboration with Reece Group, will provide local businesses with an avenue to divert troublesome materials from landfill.

FTD Circular will support the renovation of community facilities across Casey, ensuring retired furniture and products are diverted from landfill and repurposed.

Evitat will support Casey homeowners to assess the efficiency of their houses and provide support for home improvements to reduce energy use and costs.

The Rosella Street Platform will enable Casey residents to re-sell, rent, swap or giveaway unused items.
