Your voice on campus!
Since launching our WRITE Solutions Australia composting bins in October 2019, an estimated 9,135kg of organic waste has been collected and turned into compost that can be reused to fertilise our gardens. This has prevented the equivalent emissions of 300 cars being taken off the road for a whole two weeks!
