CREATING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES

Our 5 Star and Tackling Waste programs, enable schools to benefit from an embedded sustainable culture, whole school engagement, resource efficiencies and cost savings.  These programs provide focus and momentum to deliver successful outcomes for schools.

5 Star Program

The So-Eco 5 Star Program enables schools to benefit from embedding sustainability in everything they do. Using the ResourceSmart Schools framework, we help schools to achieve 5 Star certification delivering:
  • Community leadership in sustainability
  • Significant costs savings across energy, waste and water 
  • Improved practices and processes for resource efficiencies 
  • Engaged school communities
  • Enhanced student leadership opportunities
  • A platform for a long term sustainability program
This program is for schools looking to implement best practice and behaviour change across campus, curriculum and community. Working with your staff, students and parents, our whole school approach ensures effective engagement to develop sustainable school communities. 

Tackling Waste Program

The Tackling Waste Program provides a holistic approach to overcoming the cost and environmental impact of waste disposal and is designed to help schools embed a sustainable waste culture. The Program involves a practical on site Waste Stream Assessment component where student participation is encouraged. We investigate a school's waste trail by:​
  • Reviewing current waste disposal systems, costs, quantities and contracts
  • Using a practical bin audit to analyse waste streams
  • Understanding behaviours and attitudes around waste disposal
  • Recommending solutions to reduce waste costs and environmental impact
  • Providing an Action Plan detailing next steps.​
So-Eco will support implementation of the assessment recommendations and assist in the progression of your Action Plan. Together with comprehensive onsite education and engagement sessions for both students and staff, your school will be enabled to make positive change, develop student Sustainability Leaders and embed sustainable waste practices.
