Research & Education

Research and Development

Over the last 10 years we have given grants and sponsorships totalling almost $6 million from a special fund to help State and Local Governments and private companies to develop systems and mechanisms for recycling old newspapers and magazines. So far, more than 100 separate projects have been supported.

Community Education

Newspaper and magazine publishers donate $1 million worth of advertising space every year to help governments promote kerbside recycling. We are committed to continuing this program until 2010. Publishers also provide valuable space to carry our corporate advertisements promoting recycling.

As part of our education program, we also distribute free to schools and councils a class-room kit containing a Schools Resources CD which includes our award-winning video The Recycling Challenge, plus a wall poster on newspaper recycling and 25 Fast Facts on newspaper recycling leaflets designed for primary age students.
