Before the Bin: Understanding the true impact of our consumption habits

Learn about potential environmental impacts that are associated with the stuff you buy and how to make better informed decisions.

Waste doesn’t start when we throw something in the bin — it starts long before. In this hands-on workshop, attendees will dive into the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of products, gaining insights into the depletion of natural resources during production, CO2 emissions released during manufacturing and distribution, and the broader environmental impact of each product, before it even becomes waste.

This workshop is just one of a series of workshops being run by Switch Your Thinking as part of Community Waste Education Project, part funded by the Waste Authority of Western Australia. To see all workshops included in this program, visit our Eventbrite page.
