CONGRATULATIONS, getting started on measuring your Zero Waste sustainable outcomes. Follow the links to download the summary sheets and resources to get underway.
Knowing how much waste your school generates and how much is landfilled or recovered through recycling and composting, is a crucial first step to understanding what changes can be made.
Collecting data on waste management will help your school understand and measure the progress that you are making and to decide what to plan for next.
Sharing results through the Measuring Sustainable Outcomes project will help schools understand how they're doing in a national context.
