Circular Economy Champion
When Ajay Dharam, owner of the new Containers for Change facility in Baringa needed essential and affordable material for his new facility, he turned to ASPIRE Marketplace for solutions.
Through ASPIRE, Ajay was able to source conveyor belts, office and kitchen furniture and IBC (intermediate bulk containers) and save around $6000 for his business!
Ajay plans to employ eight staff and duplicate his already amazing facility with seven bays to seamlessly service the Caloundra and Aura region.
Is your business currently disposing of material that could be valuable for another business? Could you use material that another business is currently sending to landfill?
Registration is FREE for Sunshine Coast ABN-holders with under 100 staff.
