Rethink waste. Restore the Future.
Sustainability Festival
Semester 253, Week 4 (7-9 October 2025)
This year’s Sustainability Festival invites staff and students to explore bold new ideas around waste, reuse, and regeneration. Under the theme “Waste and the Circular Economy: Rethink Waste. Restore the Future,” we’ll be shining a spotlight on how we can transform our systems, habits, and thinking to build a more sustainable future together.
Join us for a variety of events and activities designed to highlight how we can generate positive change as individuals. Let’s make a difference together and help build a sustainable future for every inhabitant on Earth.
Events
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
