General Waste & Recycling

Waste prevention (our priority)

Monash University prioritises waste prevention over recycling. Recycling deals with turning discarded materials into a useful product, where waste prevention finds ways to use less materials, products and packaging.

Recycling diverts waste from landfill and conserves resources, energy and water during production processes. In short, recycling makes good environmental and economic sense!
