“One of the great opportunities we see as a business is leveraging our network to make it easier for Australians to collect and return items that would otherwise go to landfill. For example, we have recently partnered with Nespresso to develop a prepaid satchel that allows their customers to collect and return used aluminium coffee capsules to be recycled simply by posting the satchel in any street posting box or any post office. As companies increasingly look for ways to reduce their environmental footprint Australian Post is perfectly positioned to help them do this via our unrivalled network.” Andrew Sellick, Head of Environmental Sustainability
