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.
