Office of Environment and Heritage NSW
Reducing business waste is a key focus for NSW. Waste from the commercial, industrial, construction and demolition sectors makes up 68 per cent of the waste going to landfill. In NSW there are 670,000 small businesses employing 96 per cent of all workers, producing waste every day.
The Office of Environment and Heritage, NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet (OEH NSW) is committed to help everyone in NSW make sustainability a part of their daily lives. We partner with businesses of all sizes, industry leaders, government agencies and non-government organisations to improve the health of our environment.
We are proud to be a foundation partner of Planet Ark's BusinessRecycling.com.au that will help businesses reduce waste, improve recycling and recovery of valuable resources.
Other OEH programs such as our Sustainability Advantage and Energy Efficiency for Small Business Program support small, medium and large organisations to strengthen their environmental performance, including reducing workplace waste, water and energy resources.
By promoting sustainable business practices, OEH NSW is also helping businesses to remain competitive and resource efficient.
