An Even Greener State Library
The State Library of Queensland is getting even greener. Through our Climate Change and Energy Action Plan, we are improving the environmental footprint of the State Library’s operations and reducing carbon emissions.
The key areas of improvement in sustainable practices include:
- reducing energy consumption
- improving green procurement practices
- increasing recycling and reducing waste
- promoting and supporting sustainable practices.
Awards
The State Library is the winner of the 2010 Business South Bank Sustainability Award. The award recognises the State Library’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability through energy savings, carbon emission reduction programs and recycling initiatives.
The State Library will continue working with its South Bank partners to help make South Bank an even greener experience.
ecoBiz
The State Library participates in the Queensland Government’s ecoBiz program.
MobileMuster
We support the recycling of mobile phones and mobile batteries and accessories through the MobileMuster program. Recycling drop-boxes are located at the main reception desks on level 1, South Bank and at The Edge. MobileMuster is the official recycling program of the mobile phone industry in Australia.
