The Australasian Waste and Recycling Expo (AWRE) is returning to Sydney in 2023, and we're excited to be exhibiting at the premier event for Australia's waste, recycling and resource recovery sector. Come and visit us on 26 - 27 July at the ICC Sydney.

We’re thrilled to announce that the popular collectible Woolworths Bricks is returning with the GECA certified Bricks Farm, championing Aussie farmers and the fresh food they provide to Woolworths customers.

Planet Ark’s National Recycling Week is reminding Australians that much of what we currently send to landfill is actually valuable material that could be reused, repurposed or recycled. This year’s theme – “Waste isn’t waste until it’s wasted” – focuses on simple and actionable tips that enable Australians to keep those valuable materials in circulation, whether at home, work or school.

We’re thrilled to announce that Woolworths, in partnership with BrandLoyalty, is weaving the magic of Disney into its latest GECA certified collectible -releasing a collection of Fix-ems™ made from at least 80 per cent recycled material.

We’re delighted to announce that Woolworths has launched its newest and most sustainably focused collectible toy, with Woolworths Bricks set to help Australian families use creativity and play to learn more about good environmental choices.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the very urgent need for us to work together as an international community to address global environmental and social problems. At GECA, we think the stage is set for a new era that celebrates the need for and the benefits of collaboration and transparency while embracing circular economy thinking.

The rise of circular economy thinking is creating new ways of approaching manufacturing and product stewardship across a breadth of markets. Buying products and materials made from recycled content is a significant step to shift our economy from linear to circular.

GECA is proud to be a Supporting Partner of the Waste Strategy Virtual Summit which will be taking place on 21 - 22 July. Our CEO, Michelle Thomas, will be participating on the panel – Discussing the circular economy in the real world and the impact it is having on waste reduction and recycling.

Australia and New Zealand’s leading online retailer, THE ICONIC, has announced that it will transition its current black parcel packaging to 100% recycled satchels. Delivering millions of orders each year, and as the first major ANZ retailer to make a commitment of this scale, the shift represents a significant milestone for THE ICONIC and its broader sustainability initiatives.

On Wednesday, the 19 February 2020, Sustainability Victoria (SV) held the Recycled Materials – Innovations and Trends forum at Melbourne’s RMIT University. GECA's Business Development and Project Manager, Jess Mutton, attended the forum to understand some of the latest research into sustainable products that may soon emerge onto the market.

It’s with great anticipation and excitement that we bid farewell to 2019 and embark on a new year with GECA! We’re paving the way and finding new opportunities to provide solutions for sustainable consumption and production.
