Zero Waste
The Waiheke Community Childcare Centre cares for the health of the planet and the world our children will inherit.
The Waiheke Ostend Market is our mainstay fundraiser and key public event. We are committed to minimising the environmental impact of the Market, both as a way of role modelling to our children and the public, in keeping with our philosophy of caring for and protecting our island and planet.
With support and guidance from the Waiheke Waste Resources Trust and Auckland Council, we have developed Zero Waste Stations at the Market. With co-operation we are working towards ZeroWaste at the Waiheke Ostend Market.
Good to Go
At Waiheke Ostend Market we support moving towards a more sustainable world.
Our stall holders use reusable cups and plates, which we encourage visitors to bring to the waste station. Our zero waste team are on site every Saturday to help sort all the waste and reduce, reuse and recycle.
