Melbourne Farmers Markets has been operating vibrant markets across Melbourne since 2002. They understand how small steps can add up to meaningful change.

At their community-led Alphington Farmers Market, they're tackling problematic single-use plastics by introducing a wash station to avoid the need for disposable cups, plates and cutlery which would previously end up in landfill.

A commercial dishwasher operated by staff and volunteers cleans around 500 reusable cups per day. And by working with Waste Ninja, they saved more 13,000L of food going into the landfill.
