Happy Holidays!

What a wonderful year it has been for not only GECA but the landscape of responsible consumption.

With leadership from GBCA and the World Green Building Council on embodied carbon, Australia leading with modern slavery reporting and a push to ban the export of waste from our shores, it is a perfect storm for purpose led consumption and GECA to support with solutions to drive positive change forward.   

It's a wrap!

In collaboration with the City of Sydney, we brought an exciting event -
Circular Economy with Materials In Mind, between 14-19th October 2019.

The event’s purpose was to bring everyone together - business, government and community to share ideas and celebrate sustainable and circular economy solutions.
