BRBA Website

The Buy Recycled Business Alliance (BRBA) is an industry organization representing businesses which manufacture, supply or use products made from, or include, recycled material/s.

Recyclability and recycled content in products and packaging are becoming important due to stringent requirements by the strengthened National Packaging Covenant (2005-2010) which has targets and key performance indicators that relate to recyclability and recycled content. In addition, the office products and consumables market provides a common challenge for all businesses seeking to purchase recycled content and recyclable products who also use recycled content and recyclable packaging. This is a natural starting point for many offices, following their decision to ‘go green’. Therefore access to reliable information rapidly, is of importance.

The Centre for Design is developing such a web portal for BRBA so that businesses and the general public can access a credible, centralized information source about these products. The intention is to encourage the uptake of recycled content products which, in turn, supports the recycling sector, reduces waste to landfill and reduces raw materials consumption.

This web portal is expected to be launched by June 2008.
