Company Assessment

PRAISE CRITICISM INFORMATION
Buderim Group Ltd
Environment 4/5 for packaging performance
This company received a packaging performance level of 4 (Leading) in its 2022 APCO Annual Report. Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) is a not-for-profit organisation leading the development of a circular economy for packaging in Australia.

Environment ecoBiz Partner (QLD)
With the help of an ecoBiz rebate, Buderim Ginger installed a Sessil Trickling filter system to reduce the cost of disposing water, and a Membrane Batch reactor to reduce their total water usage. Coupled with the new energy reducing technologies they installed for their ventilation, air conditioning and boiler system, Buderim Ginger have significantly reduced both their environmental impact and their resource costs. ecoBiz is the Department of Environment and Resource Management's eco-efficiency partnership program with Queensland Business.
