At ReUse Hunter we have a community of circular businesses offering alternative solutions to help reduce the waste that ends up in landfill.
Join us on our mission to help reduce the waste that ends up in our landfill.
We have a community of companies offering a diverse range of alternative solutions.
Each role plays an important part in our circular economy we are desiring to achieve for our community. Learn more about what each of these roles entail with our handy definitions. To reduce the amount going into landfill every year, we ask for you to consider other options before sending these items to our waste facilities.
Our region, the Hunter and Central Coast, have already built incredible momentum behind the transition to a circular economy. A range of stakeholders across the public and private spheres have delivered capability programs, gathered and analysed data to identify new opportunities. Browse by material to see what’s available in your area.
Circular economy is a framework to use and manage materials required to meet the needs of society in such a way that does not deplete finite resources, retains value in closed-loop systems, and regenerates degraded ecological systems. The circular economy framework provides the following three guiding principles: eliminate waste and pollution, keep materials in use, and regenerate natural systems.
Chemist Warehouse recycles blister packs at all stores in Australia through the Pharmacycle program. Millions of medication blister packs could be diverted from landfill through the recycling program.
Chemist Warehouse, a leading Australian pharmacy retailer, has made a significant stride in sustainable practices by partnering with Pharmacycle to launch a blister pack recycling initiative. This initiative, aimed at addressing the pressing issue of blister pack waste, marks a notable advancement in recycling efforts within Australia.
Chemist Warehouse provides customers at all Australian stores the opportunity to dispose of their empty blister packs sustainably. The pharmacy will facilitate this through branded recycling bins placed near the dispensary area, featuring both Chemist Warehouse and Pharmacycle logos.
Once collected from the pharmacy, blister packs are transported to one of Pharmacycle’s processing facilities, where the packaging requires specialised machinery to separate the materials before they can be recycled.
The aluminium is then sent to Weston Aluminium in the Hunter Valley in NSW, which reprocesses it to produce an aluminium de-oxidant product that aids in the steel making process.
