Rebates

A deduction from the amount to be paid or a return of part of an amount given in payment.

Recycled paper

A paper product that contains recovered paper materials. The recycled content is measured as a percentage of the paper's weight. (follow the links on this website under paper in the information bank tab)

Recycling

The process by which recovered materials are transformed into new products, rather than discarding them as wastes.

Recycling Systems

Based on the thinking that resources must be reused as much as possible in the quest for Zero Waste, these systems focus on minimising the injection of fresh resources, saving energy, and organising manufacturing operations to achieve Zero Emissions.

Reduced resource consumption

A reduced amount of use of any form of matter or energy obtained from the environment that meets human needs.

Renewable energy

Energy obtained from sources that are essentially inexhaustible, unlike, for example, the fossil fuels, of which there is a finite supply. Renewable sources of energy include wood, waste, geothermal, wind, photovoltaic, and solar thermal energy. Purchasing GreenPower from sources such as wind, solar and hydro is the easiest way to reduce your greenhouse emissions from stationary energy (excluding transport related emissions) to virtually zero.
