5. Recycling
There are many environmental benefits to recycling materials such as paper, glass, aluminium. Recycling dutifully is one of the easiest ways to improve your strata property’s sustainability as a whole, as it can reduce energy usage and reduce your strata property’s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions too.
By making improvements to your strata property’s lighting, energy sources, water usage, gardening initiatives and recycling, you can very easily take your strata property’s sustainability factor to the next level.
Before you begin, however, remember that any plans and ideas for common areas of your strata property should be proposed to the owners corporation before any changes are made. In some instances, you may need to lodge requests to your local council.
