Brooklyn Recycling Group Members
The Mission of Brooklyn Recycling Group Environmental Programme
Collectively, the current BRG companies employ several hundred local community members. The strategically located BRG member sites are in proximity to each other and centrally positioned within Greater Melbourne, ensuring their services are an affordable and integral part of Melbourne’s waste management and a critical segment of Victoria’s circular economy. This locality helps to reduce transport-related costs, emissions, and traffic congestion.
In a screening assessment carried out by Synergetics (2021), all sites within 3 km of EPA Victoria’s Brooklyn monitoring station (as seen in the aerial photo in Figure 1) likely to make a significant contribution to the measured PM10 concentration were identified. A total of 18 sites were recognized as emission sources. The mass emission rates of these sites were then estimated and ranked.
The assessment found that the four BRG members’ sites contribute only approximately 8% of the total PM10 measured. Notably, none of the BRG members appeared in the top 10 sites for emission sources.
Nevertheless, BRG members recognize their important role in the control and mitigation of PM10 connected to their activities at the Brooklyn site and are committed to leading by example through continuous improvement and innovation as part of their environmental programme under the Brooklyn BEP.
Innovation & the Brooklyn BEP
The Brooklyn BEP will encourage BRG members, as BEP participants, to continue innovating and thus improve air quality and amenity in the immediate area. For the first time, this initiative sees the four BEP participants working together to jointly innovate for improved outcomes.
Joint BRG Member Projects
BRG members (BEP participants) have confirmed several Group actions to achieve the objectives of the BEP.
