IN PRACTICE
RAW COMMODITY
Just 1% of value is extracted from the coffee grounds when you drink your morning coffee. To date, the capacity of geographically-dispersed small-scale roasters to recover and aggregate spent coffee grounds has been hindered by council or contract waste providers’ inability to deliver these services. Additionally, the processing facilities required often call for greater volumes of waste than one local government agency can provide, resulting in negotiations across multiple waste contractors. This adds further strain to the viability of reuse or repurposing projects.
PC partnered with Illawarra-based business Daily Grind Coffee to map the distribution of coffee across the Illawarra supply chain from coffee roaster, to cafe, then the recovery from landfill. The PC system was designed specifically to manage the gaps in the administration, transportation and coordination of the recovery process. Perfect Circles identified a number of reuse options such as the use as an additive to road base and cement, fertiliser and creation of biochar and logs. Perfect Circles is now partnering with business and local roasters to implement the circular model.
MATERIAL
Figures from September 2021 estimate that Australians send around 800 million disposable nappies to landfill each year. Though not unique to the nappy industry, this waste problem has resulted in product innovation and the development of circular models to reduce environmental impact.
One such development is the nappies-as-a-service model, in which cloth nappies are delivered, used and then collected to be cleaned and laundered for redistribution. This simple approach is effective in reducing waste to landfill and is increasing in popularity. Aggregation software is key to managing this business model.
TECHNICAL
One of the most recognised circular models – refurbish, reuse and recycle – is at the forefront of eWaste management. IT Factory is an example of one tech-focused business applying this model to service an increasingly growing need for environmentally friendly IT disposal in this space. The recycling service accepts hardware including laptops and hard drives, and offers data sanitisation to protect sensitive information data. Complete with data sanitisation, their model is simple but effective, involving careful planning and execution using their reutilise, condense and recycle framework.
The aim of IT Factory’s model is to remove unwanted IT waste in a timely and cost-efficient manner. ‘Reutilising’ incentivises customers to return outdated or obsolete equipment to prevent excess manufacturing. When an entire unit cannot be refurbished and resold, ‘condensing’ is the next best outcome. This process involves dismantling equipment to recover parts that can be utilised in the repair or upgrade of other second-hand equipment. As a last resort, the ‘recycling’ component ensures the end of life of the equipment is managed responsibly and the maximum value of the device can be realised over its entire lifecycle. Over the past 10 years, IT Factory has successfully used circular principles to build a highly effective business model that is economically, socially and environmentally sound. Its success is built on its ability to leverage systems to manage and adapt to a changing environment and meet the increasing sustainability reporting requirements of the small and large businesses it services.
