Plastic-free Brentwood

Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution – so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities. 

Students at Brentwood have the opportunity to win prizes by participating in this year’s ‘Plastic-free July challenge’. As a part of the challenge, students are required to record the actions taken to refuse and reduce plastic usage in their daily lives and the challenges and successes they had from taking up this challenge. For more information regarding the challenge, please click here.

Please head to www.plasticfreejuly.org for getting involved and gather ideas to reduce plastic usage. We encourage every individual to reduce the amount of plastic brought to the college to create a plastic-free Brentwood.

Coffee Pods Recycling

In Term 3, our PSD coordinator, Ms Victoria Strong introduced collection of used coffee pods at Brentwood. The pods are collected by Nescafe and shipped to TerraCycle, where they are recycled. In the first installment, 18 kg of coffee pods were collected and sent to TerraCycle. To learn about this recycling program, please visit https://www.terracycle.com/en-AU/brigades/capsulebrigade
