Waste Minimisation Initiatives

Wrapper Free Lunches! 

One simple way to reduce what we put in the landfill bin is to pack a wrapper free lunch for your children. 

Once you get into a pattern of doing it, it's easy! 

TIP: By asking your children what they want in their lunchbox, or offering a 'menu' to choose from they are more likely to eat it. 


Simple tips are:

1) Buy BIG! 
✔️ Buy purchasing bulk bags of chippies, crackers and biscuits you are having less wrappers. 
✔️ It is often cheaper too! 
✔️ This is a great way to teach children about portion sizes. 

2) Swap some snacks for fruit and veggies 
> Tip - look out for the seasonal produce as this is cheaper and fresher. 

3) Buy a lunchbox with sections or a beeswax wrap for your sandwiches 
✔️ This makes it easier to be wrapper free by placing food in different sections.
✔️ These are both available to buy at our Wednesday after school enviro stall .

4) Try Baking! 
>  Don't have time? Try one of our jar mixes! 
✔️ These are available to buy at our Wednesday after school enviro stall .
✔️ These are still at the great price of only $5 due to the waste minimisation grant we received.
