HAPPY WORLD SUSTAINABILITY DAY!

Grab a reusable cup and settle in, ‘cos we’ve got some numbers to show off this World Sustainability Day!

Our sustainability team has been busy being very, very nice to the planet, and in the past financial year they diverted a whopping 96.7% of our waste from landfill. The other 3.3%? We’re coming for you.

Since opening our doors in 2018, we’ve been quietly plotting to become the most sustainable precinct on the planet.

Check out some of our recycling initiatives below:

GLASS

Each week, over 400kg of glass is crushed and converted into sand which we then use on site!

STYROFOAM

We return styrofoam containers to the supplier and onsite, we’ve swapped out all styrofoam with reusable tubs from the Fish Factory! Broken styrofoam has all labels removed and broken into hand sized pieces and sent to Polyfoam where they process it and can repurpose it into things such as “Waffle Pods”.

CANS &
TINS

All food tins are crushed and baled on site, before being collected for specialised recycling.

COOKING
OIL

In the kitchen, our chefs recycle 142,000L of cooking oil a year that is collected from the site and made into renewable biofuel.

SPENT GRAIN

170,807 tonnes of Spent Grain delivered to our friends at Echo Valley Farm! Which feeds their livestock.

OYSTER
SHELLS

Over 3.402 tonnes of oysters shells have been diverted and donated to the amazing volunteers from the Moreton Bay Shellfish Reef restoration team.

ORGANIC
WASTE

456,407 tonnes of compostable waste such as green waste, paper straws & wine corks has been converted into nutrient-rich compost and soil conditioners used for local Queensland agricultural farms, gardens, and parks.

CO-MINGLED
WASTE

Materials such as e-waste, batteries, soft plastics & containers are collected separately for specialised recycling.

TEXTILES & CLOTHING

We donate all good condition unwanted textiles from Crystalbrook Hotel.

WATER

Our gardens are watered using 100% rainwater.

CARDBOARD

Wax cardboard and styrofoam is returned to the suppliers.

CORFLUTE

Our coreflute signage gets sent to Corex who give their recycled corflute to EcoBin which we use as our office bins. Closing the loop!

METALS

3640kg of metals crushed and recycled!
