It started as a light bulb idea to reduce waste from milk cartons handed out in schools. Now it’s a multimillion-dollar venture transforming the way we reuse waste products.
Sustainable waste reduction company SaveBoard, with a $2.7 million investment from Freightways, is working to expand and do more to help the environment.
Paul Charteris is the co-founder and chief executive of the company and over the past four years has been on a mission to convert 4000 tonnes of waste per year from landfill.
SaveBoard is doing this by converting products such as food cartons and courier packaging, which were previously not recyclable if contaminated, into sustainable building materials.
