Abstract:
Ecologiq is for people in the Victorian infrastructure industry
who want their work to have a greener purpose. Our circular
economy approach makes sustainably-built projects the new
normal through the way we lead and act.
Victoria’s transport infrastructure boom represents a once
in a generation opportunity to create positive outcomes
and contribute to cleaning up the waste. Ecologiq is about
redirecting the Victorian transport infrastructure industry
towards a greener purpose. We can recycle, repair and reuse
more waste materials in our projects and make all of our new
transport infrastructure sustainably built.
We will explore and test how we can use waste materials
in our everyday work practices. We will research, innovate,
share knowledge and encourage these uses in our flagship
projects. We will align our environmental and sustainability
standards with world-class benchmarks, and then push
those benchmarks further. This effort will span government,
industries, universities, and all who are interested in joining
an era-defining push to make world-leading sustainable
practices the new normal.
The circular economy, harnessing usable waste, will become
our new standard and represents our bold, greener purpose.
