Sustainable Materials and Products
Sustainable Materials and Products is a Sustainability Pillar in our Sustainability Strategy 2021 - 2031. The relevant key principle is: 'Sustainable Materials aim to have a limited negative impact on people and natural resources and do not deplete or degrade the environment'. Our objectives related to this pillar are:
- Investigate and invest in local circular economy infrastructure to enable resources to be kept in use for as long as possible
- Promote the development of local sustainable materials made from renewable or waste resources
- Support local businesses who seek to develop sustainable materials made from renewable or waste resources
- Encourage the community to embrace the notion of re-use of materials rather than purchase of new materials
