Our sustainability commitment at MedReleaf Australia

MedReleaf Australia intro

Why we act on plastic

While MedReleaf Australia uses plastic in its operations, we understand its environmental impact and are taking action. We’d love to go plastic-free as a company someday, but strict medical regulations mean this is something we unfortunately won’t achieve at this time.

Meanwhile, we’re taking responsibility by funding and advancing plastic recovery in coastal communities primarily in South (East) Asia, which is the gateway for more than 80% of all plastic that enters our oceans.

More than
2 billion people worldwide
dispose of their trash in nature because there are no waste collection services.

Through our partnership with CleanHub, we fund waste collection in coastal communities where services were previously unavailable or not affordable.

This year we're supporting these sustainability projects

Through CleanHub, we fund projects that collect plastic waste - either directly from nature, at community collection points or directly from local households. The plastic is then sorted and any material that can be recycled is reused. Plastic that cannot be recycled is used as an alternative fuel in cement production, replacing coal and gas. This prevents the plastic from entering the environment again.

How we support local communities

By supporting waste collection, we improve lives in coastal communities and create safe and dignified jobs with fair pay and opportunities.

By working with CleanHub, we’re making sure 5,000 kg of plastic will never end up in our oceans. 🙌
