EcoBiz is a free program for small and medium-sized Queensland businesses with less than 200 full time equivalent (FTE) employees. The program provides personalised coaching, training, and tools to help reduce consumption of water and energy, waste, manage your carbon emissions, and improve resource efficiency and sustainability.
ASPIRE is a digital tool that supports social business networks. As industries face the challenge of rising waste disposal costs and the pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from excessive landfill, it is neither cost-effective, operationally efficient, nor socially responsible for companies to ignore the end-of-life impacts of unwanted resources.
