34 Targets for waste reduction and recycling will be identified and reported on through the waste service. Adelaide Shores ($14,425) Adelaide Shores is seeking to improve its waste, energy, carbon, water and biodiversity. Adelaide Shores manages a 135 hectare tourism and recreation reserve on Adelaide’s West Beach which comprises a caravan park, café, resort area with self-contained accommodation, public golf course and golf club function area. A key improvement is the introduction of an organic composting trial to capture and use food waste generated from its café and staff lunch areas. Adelaide Shores is also supporting Ms Kerrie Bell, the second student of the Zero Waste SA Pam Keating Memorial Scholarship program whose research will help to maximise the amount of food waste that can be collected through the Adelaide Shores caravan park. Department of Health ($25,000) The Department of Health (DoH) is responsible for providing a range of health services to the South Australian community. The department’s diverse sites across the State include hospitals, health and medical research centres, and pathology, epidemiology, and drug and alcohol services, and offices. To improve waste management practices across all departmental operations, Zero Waste SA has provided funding for a waste management plan. The plan will assist DoH to establish a consistent level of service and best practice resource management throughout all sites. Targets for waste reduction and recycling will be identified and reported on through the waste service. The lessons learnt may be able to be applied to other State Government agencies that are also responsible for managing multiple and diverse sites. Jurlique International ($19,323) Jurlique International is a South Australian based manufacturer of organic skin care products. In its commitment to becoming environmentally sustainable, Jurlique is piloting a sustainability management system (SMS) with the assistance of Zero Waste SA to improve resource efficiency across its operations. To support this aim, Zero Waste SA has funded Jurlique to undertake Environmental Auditor training for key staff to build their skills for implementing the SMS. Orlando Wines ($10,000) Orlando Wines is part of the international wine and spirit company Pernod Ricard, which has adopted a range of policies aimed at protecting the environment. The South Australian branch of Orlando Wines joined REAP to independently verify waste management practices across its three South Australian sites: Rowland Flat winery, Jacob’s Creek Visitor Centre and Richmond Grove winery. Zero Waste SA supported an independent waste and recycling review of the three sites. The results show Rowland Flat winery is performing exceptionally well in waste management by recycling 91% of all solid waste produced (the other two sites achieve resource recovery rates of 73% and 47% respectively). The report also highlighted areas of focus for achieving even better waste management practices. Orlando Wines intends to continue the relationship with Zero Waste SA and work on improving waste management systems and practices across its three sites. South Australian Cricket Association ($9,950) Adelaide Oval is one of the world’s most famous test cricket grounds. It can accommodate up to 34,000 spectators for cricket, and as many as 120,000 may attend during a five-day test match. In March 2012, a $535 million redevelopment will transform Adelaide Oval into a 50,000 seat venue. Zero Waste SA has worked with the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) to improve its environmental operations, including funding a waste and recycling improvement review and developing a case study to highlight its achievements. With increased capacity and a planned redevelopment, recycling is now a priority at the historic stadium as SACA pursues best environmental practice across its operations.
Case studies help the partnering organisations to promote their achievements and generate awareness and encouragement for other organisations to follow. 35 South Australian Tourism Commission ($4,545) The South Australian Tourism Commission (SATC) markets South Australia’s tourism profile and manages and sponsors major events to increase investment in the tourism industry. The SATC has established a dedicated ‘Green Team’ which works to encourage efficient use of resources at its head office in King William Street, Adelaide. Zero Waste SA fully funded a high level waste and recycling review to help SATC understand and improve on its current waste management and recycling practices. SATC will seek to implement a range of recommendations including reducing the use of white paper for printing, reducing the amount of disposable packaging items entering the site, source separating more materials to facilitate further resource recovery, and introducing a NABERS (National Australian Built Environment Rating System) waste assessment of the SATC tenancy. Development of case studies The development of case studies is an important part of supporting REAP clients. Case studies help the partnering organisations to promote their achievements and generate awareness and encouragement for other organisations to follow. Case studies are available on the Zero Waste SA website at: http://www.zerowaste.sa.gov.au/at-work/zerowaste-sa-industry-program/industry-case-studies During 2010–11, case studies were developed for clients currently and previously engaged in the REAP program: > Treasury Wine Estates > TAFE SA Marleston Campus > SAGE Automation > ETSA Utilities > Jam Factory > Philmac. Treasury Wine Estates ($20,000) Treasury Wine Estates operates 10 wineries, three packaging plants and more than 8,400 hectares of vines across Australia’s wine regions. The company sources grapes from about 700 independent growers nationwide. Treasury sought Zero Waste SA’s advice to help manage the diverse waste streams generated from each of its sites. Zero Waste SA assisted in funding the development of a waste management toolkit which includes case studies of best environmental practice at two wineries and a vineyard, fact sheets on managing different waste streams, and recycling contacts in each state. The benefits of the toolkit include guidance in developing a waste management action plan for each site and educating staff in resource efficiency practices.
