The funding aims to help local producers implement sustainable and innovative projects that benefit their operations, customers, and the environment.

Among the recipients, Western Australia’s Blazing Saddles received $250,000 to introduce new cardboard punnets to replace plastic packaging, potentially removing up to 98 per cent of plastic waste from its supply chain.

“As a small grower, we never thought we’d be leading the charge on packaging innovation,” said owner Lance Fitzgerald. “This grant will help us invest in the right equipment and drive positive change.”

Victorian winery Fowles Wine secured $500,000 to implement an Australian-first micro-bat navigation system, BatNavs, to control pests naturally and reduce the need for pesticides.

Owner Matt Fowles said, “We live by the idea of ‘farming in nature’s image’, which means finding ways to work with nature rather than against it.”

Other grant recipients include:

• Dates Farms Australia (Walkerie, SA) – $500,000 for a solar-powered data processing facility
• Cudgen Road Farms (Cudgen, NSW) – $450,000 for a new sweet potato harvester
• Hearman Ag (Charley Creek, WA) – $138,000 for an AI-driven solar pumping system
• Healthy Tech (Bowden, SA) – $175,000 for real-time veterinary support
• K&M Farming Trust (Manypeaks, WA) – $245,000 for solar-powered GPS cattle tracking
• Salamanca Pastoral (Hotspur, VIC) – $90,000 for native shelter belts and a freshwater system
• Talwali Coffee Roasters (Hampton Park, VIC) – $400,000 to grow local coffee using renewable energy
• Topsoil Organics (Forbes, NSW) – $500,000 for compost bagging of Coles’ food waste
• Foodbank SA & NT (Edwardstown, SA) – $250,000 for cyclone-proof food lockers in remote communities

“Sustainable growth needs collaboration, and the Coles Nurture Fund plays a vital role in helping producers bring these ambitious ideas to life,” says Coles’ chief commercial and sustainability officer Anna Croft. 

“We’re proud to support these businesses that are pioneering smart and practical solutions that will help create a more sustainable future.”

The Coles Nurture Fund, now in its eleventh year, has distributed more than $40 million in financial support to 119 Australian producers.

And, with electricity prices only going up, Australian businesses quite literally can’t afford to waste power.

The good news is that you don’t need a massive budget to do something about it. These five tips are practical, proven, and can make a real dent in your 2025 energy bills.

1. Invest in smart metering

Smart meters don’t just track your usage, they show you exactly when, where, and what’s chewing through your electricity. With this information, you make smarter decisions on upgrades, maintenance, and energy contracts – plus what activities you might want to cut back on. Energy NSW has a quick-reference info page on smart meters.

2. Turn your team into energy champions

Let’s face it. Even the best systems won’t save you money if your people are unknowingly working against them. Training your staff in basic energy literacy, like switching devices off properly, managing air-con settings, or using energy-saving modes can pay off quickly. Pair this with workplace energy challenges or dashboards to boost engagement. It’s not just about cutting costs, it’s about building a culture where everyone contributes to energy efficiency.

3. Move to the cloud

Still running local servers or legacy systems? Those server racks might be quietly racking up your power bills. Cloud platforms have become incredibly efficient, both in energy use and performance. Transitioning to the cloud not only reduces your electricity consumption, but also cuts down on hardware headaches, lowers maintenance costs, and improves business continuity. Bonus points if your cloud provider uses renewables.

4. Automate off-hours

This one’s simple, but effective. If your lights, signage, or equipment are still humming along after hours, you’re paying for power no one’s using. Timers, smart plugs, and affordable building automation tools can take the guesswork out of it. Even setting devices to ‘low power’ mode overnight can lead to noticeable savings, especially for retail, hospitality, or office-based SMBs.

5. Leverage local initiatives

You don’t have to go it alone. Many Australian councils now offer sustainability programs specifically designed for small businesses. These include free or subsidised energy audits, group-buy programs for LED lighting, and tailored advice to help you reduce usage without disruption. Look up initiatives like the City of Sydney’s Better Buildings program or Melbourne’s Sustainable Business Program. These aren’t just for big corporates. If you’re not tapping into what’s available, you could be leaving savings on the table.

ISB: What led to the establishment of Conry Tech?

SR: Foolish patriotism and stubborn optimism. Ron, Brenda and I have been in air-conditioning for many years. Ron invented a new airconditioning technology here a few decades ago, which we first commercialised in North America. This can now be found in virtually every commercial unit globally. We moved back to Australia on a mission to reinvent air-conditioning with an Australian manufactured product, and create Australian jobs.

ISB: Why do you think the air conditioning industry is due for reinvention?

SR: Air-conditioning is used in virtually every commercial space, but technology development in the sector moves at a glacial pace. The guidelines haven’t changed for 100 years. Most buildings use very old and inefficient units, and heating and cooling typically accounts for 60% of a building’s energy use and emissions. Whilst you might find a five-star energy efficiency rating on a label, our industry invented these standards. It is essentially marking its own homework. We want to reinvent air-conditioning to improve comfort, whilst making it much more efficient, and much more sustainable.

ISB: You had a successfully campaign with another venture in the past before the most recent campaign for Conry Tech; what made the Conry Tech campaign different as far as the funding campaign and challenges are concerned?

SR: 25yrs ago, we managed to get millions of dollars from the Canadian government, because we couldn’t get that scale of finance here. We made a big return on this investment, creating thousands of skilled jobs and generating billions in revenue to this day. Since coming back, I wish I could say that the difference is like night and day, but, we’re seeing the same old problems. It’s hard to raise serious money for hardware businesses. Investors and the government alike are drawn to software businesses that have lower upfront costs and occasionally a faster return on investment. They are reluctant to fund the hardware businesses needed to solve the big infrastructure problems facing Australia, as they are less glamorous, require more specialised knowledge, and use capital upfront, therefore they deem them too risky. We have pre-seed investment now, but it’s hard to escape the feeling that the money we need to build factories and scale the business may be easier to find abroad.

ISB: With that funding now in place, how are you making the most out of that funding for the business’ growth?

SR: Reinventing air-conditioning from a blank piece of paper and first principles required us to build every single component from scratch. Nothing is off the shelf. The technology is complicated, and it takes a lot of time and money to design the unit, let alone build and test it. The money we have raised so far has largely been consumed in R&D and building our first proof of concept units. Whilst the tech is going very well and we have trial sites lined up in commercial offices and universities. Realistically, we need more funding to finish testing and prepare for commercialisation.

ISB: What is your vision for Conry Tech in the next couple of years?

SR: In the next 24 months, we will hopefully have a seed round and series A in the bank. When the trial sites have proven the technology publicly, it will be a matter of scaling up the business and manufacturing a finished product to meet the needs of our potential customers. Australia’s top commercial construction and real estate businesses are already engaged and exploring installing our tech in their existing sites, and we are also in discussions with other sectors such as data centres and defence. There we aim to have established manufacturing here in Australia, and have begun to disrupt this critical, but slow-moving industry.

Delivered in partnership with Deakin University’s Recycling and Clean Energy Commercialisation Hub (REACH), which is supported by the Australian government’s Trailblazer Universities Program, the eight-week program will be spearheaded by experienced researchers and will help participants examine technical challenges, explore research and development (R&D) opportunities, and develop actionable business and funding plans for their R&D ideas. 

CSIRO’s Ending Plastic Waste Research Lead Dr Deborah Lau stated that it is critical to bring science and industry together so we can create circular pathways for plastics and other recyclable waste.   

“Over 9.5 billion tonnes of plastic waste have been produced globally since 1950, with only nine per cent recycled each year. This is commercially and environmentally unsustainable,” Lau said. “Working with SMEs is essential to unlocking R&D opportunities that accelerate breakthroughs in science and technology. Through this program, we aim to spark innovation that will shape a sustainable circular ecosystem for plastics and waste through recycling, redesign and reuse.”  

Innovate to Grow: Recycling and Circular Economy program is open to SMEs working in the following sub-sectors:  

• Organic and inorganic recycling  
• Sustainable manufacturing  
• Clean energy production and storage  
• Supply chain waste reduction  
• Waste to energy (bioenergy)  
• Fibre and textiles waste  
• Sustainable construction materials  
• Other  

Amy Hunter, Deakin REACH Executive Director, said that SMEs and the start-up sector have a tremendous opportunity to play a key role in developing greener supply chains in Australia.  

“Supporting CSIRO’s Innovate to Grow Recycling and Circular Economy program connects more businesses to Deakin through our REACH ecosystem, so we can support them to drive innovation and solve problems that will develop greener supply chains in Australia,” Hunter said.  

CSIRO’s Innovate to Grow was first launched in 2020 and has equipped over 600 SMEs with the knowledge and tools required to progress their R&D opportunities.  

Applications for this year’s ‘Innovate to Grow: Recycling and Circular Economy’ close on 16 February 2025.

The GHAC is a pilot-oriented, mentorship-based program dedicated to fostering sustainable innovation in agriculture, circular economy, and greenhouse gas emissions reduction by providing start-ups focusing on such solutions with expert business advisory and collaboration opportunities with PepsiCo.

In Australia, the program launch comes as SMEs prepare to play a role in the Government’s rising environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) requirements. While most are exempt from ESG reporting due to their size, SMEs that are part of larger enterprises’ supply chains can fall under ‘scope 3’ emissions and need to engage with climate reporting.

“PepsiCo’s Greenhouse Accelerator Program is dedicated to empowering start-ups with the tools, resources and mentorship required to drive meaningful change and scale innovations across our food systems. Over the past two years, the program has successfully launched 15 start-up pilots across APAC with PepsiCo and partners, and engaged with 95 venture capital firms and institutions, reinforcing our focus on fostering a robust sustainability ecosystem,” said Ashley Brown, VP Supply Chain A/NZ and Chief Sustainability Officer, PepsiCo APAC.

GHAC will award $20,000 USD grants to each of the 10 finalists, with an additional $100,000 USD granted to the winning start-up. Finalists will also receive wrap-around mentorship from PepsiCo executives and business accelerator experts to help overcome challenges and catalyse growth.

Since its launch, the program has established a track record of successful first-of-a-kind pilots leading to further collaboration with PepsiCo and partners. For this year, GHAC has teamed up with GC Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of PTT Global Chemical (PTTGC) and long-term collaborator Circulate Capital to provide tailored feedback and guidance to participants throughout the program.

“As sustainability rightly grows in importance for investors, consumers, and employees, accelerator programs like GHAC play a crucial role in helping entrepreneurs meet these expectations and remain competitive. Applicants benefit not only from mentorship with seasoned professionals but also from direct collaboration with PepsiCo, a global industry leader that drives the program and acts as the end user of their innovations. This provides access to decades of industry expertise, a strong partner network, and valuable insights to refine solutions and shape pilot opportunities,” Brown added.

Business leaders, I’m looking at you.

Implementing circular business practices must become a priority at all stages of operations. This begins with circular design; design that creates durable and repairable products which are able to be disassembled easily to keep materials at high value. 

Next is ensuring those materials are reused and recycled rather than disposed of to landfill, which means both ensuring the materials are reusable and recyclable and putting systems in place to be able to collect them effectively. 

While moving to renewable energy sources can address approximately 55 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, to tackle the remaining 45 per cent we will need to radically change the way we make and use products, materials, and food. In other words, transitioning to a circular model is not a nice-to-have, it’s a need to have. 

Environmental benefits aside – research shows that implementing circular practices is also great for business. According to a report by PwC, a circular economy in Australia could generate AUD $1,860 billion in direct economic benefits over 20 years and save 165 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2040.

Plus, transitioning to a circular economy lends itself to better innovation by fostering creativity within organisations, highlighting supply chain efficiencies and generating new revenue streams. 

Starting on this path may feel daunting for business leaders, but taking small, manageable steps toward circularity can create real change.

It won’t happen overnight. It’s a gradual process, but there are simple steps you can take today that will set your business on a better path for tomorrow.

Step 1: Deep dive into circularity

Knowledge is power.

First priority, above anything else, must be education. Start by immersing yourself and your team in the resources available. 

Ellen MacArthur Foundation provides comprehensive guides, research, and case studies to help businesses understand the core principles and practices of circularity. 

CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has also done extensive research on the circular economy and created an excellent resource page on their website outlining their findings. Their market opportunities report also provides encouraging insights.

The Australian Circular Economy (ACE) Knowledge Hub is also a valuable resource, offering up-to-date information and examples of how Australian businesses are successfully adopting circular practices.

The ACE Hub also showcases case studies on local organisations that have successfully integrated circular methods into their operations. These examples illustrate how circularity can work in local, real-world contexts, providing concrete strategies that your business can adapt and implement. 

Taking the time to understand these resources can inspire new ideas and give you a practical framework to guide your journey.

Step 2: Connect with circular economy leaders

Once you have a foundational understanding of circularity, connecting with others in the circular economy community is invaluable. Networking with other business leaders who are on the same journey can provide insights, support, and inspiration.

The ACE Hub Portal is a dedicated community of circular economy practitioners and professionals and offers businesses a chance to engage with local government representatives, researchers, and other business leaders. This community fosters collaboration and shared learning, which are essential to advancing circularity on a broader scale. Connecting with businesses on the same path – whether they have already done the hard work or are starting from square one – will not only help keep you accountable, but allow you to keep learning from each other.

Keep an eye out for events that bring together leaders in the circular economy. Circularity 2024 is a two-day annual conference in November that brings together some of the brightest minds in the circular economy from APAC and across the globe. Likewise, the internationally successful CIRCO Circular Business Design Workshop will be coming to Geelong on the 3rd of December. 

These experiences offer a chance to learn directly from experts, gain fresh ideas, and establish partnerships that may help you move forward, faster.

Step 3: Develop a realistic, achievable plan

Once inspired and equipped with resources, the next step is to create a practical roadmap tailored to your business. 

An effective circular transition plan is both realistic and incremental, with short-term goals that eventually lead to longer-term success. The plan should include specific actions and measurable timelines. For example, think about how you can aim to reduce new product spend, cut back on natural resource consumption, or identify collaboration opportunities. 

Check out Hunter Joint Organisation’s Hunter Circular roadmap or Monash University’s circular economy framework for inspiration on executing a well-thought out and highly detailed plan. Keep in mind, your plan should be achievable and align with both your operational goals and sustainability objectives.

By adopting circular practices, businesses can play a vital role in shaping a sustainable economy while blazing new avenues for their own growth.

The journey toward circularity may start with a single action – whether it’s reading a report, connecting with other leaders, or setting a goal to reduce the number of new products being purchased. Yet each of these actions, small as they may seem, are critical steps to building a better world for future generations.

Officeworks noted that 81 per cent of its customers in a survey said they want to be able to recycle products such as ink, toner cartridges and computer accessories.

Starting November 19, customers in Victoria can order ‘Bring it Boxes’ online to fill with recyclables and schedule a collection. Officeworks plans to make this available nationwide by next year.

“Our collection boxes integrate seamlessly into micro, small, medium, or large business settings and are easily collected, allowing our customers to focus on their core operations, confident that their waste is being recycled to its highest value,” said Paul Munkley, Officeworks head of business.

“We also provide detailed reporting, enabling businesses to track their progress toward their sustainability goals.”

The initiative is an extension of Officeworks’ Bring It Back program in partnership with Close the Loop.

Specifically, it is the launch of the ARL Marketplace, which seeks to help small-to-medium businesses (SMEs) get the support they need to navigate packaging sustainability and recycling by providing them access to recycling guidelines set forth by the Australasian Recycling Label (ARL).

The ARL is considered the authoritative labelling system for Australia and New Zealand, providing consumers with easy-to-understand recycling information on packaging. And with the ARL label, customers will be more confident to recycle all parts of their product’s packaging responsibly.

The ARL Marketplace enables SMEs to source packaging from registered suppliers like Pact Group, Zipform Packaging and Labelmakers Group who can help them take action on packaging sustainability and for SMEs to feel confident that they are not misleading customers on the recyclability of their packaging. It also offers educational resources designed to cut through confusion and support SMEs to understand packaging sustainability.

The launch of the ARL Marketplace is the culmination of a two-year education campaign led by the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), the National Retail Association (NRA) and the Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC) to help further the understanding of the ARL.

A previous survey found that 65 per cent of Aussies want more information about how to recycle and will buy more from businesses that offer recycling instructions on their packaging.

“We understand that with so many competing responsibilities it can be difficult for small businesses to prioritise sustainability,” said APCO CEO, Chris Foley. “The ARL Marketplace offers Australia’s small businesses an easy way to take action on packaging sustainability and reap the rewards.“

Nerida Kelton, Executive Director, AIP said, “One of the biggest challenges faced by SMEs in our region is access to training and education so that they have the same equal platform to create fit-for-purpose and functional sustainable packaging that has the lowest environmental impacts. The ARL Marketplace provides SMEs with numerous learning modules created by the AIP that ensure that everyone can embed the Sustainable Packaging Design principles and the ARL on all of their packaging.”

Bonnie Marshall, Policy Officer, NRA) said, “The National Retail Association has engaged with thousands of businesses to encourage uptake of the ARL. Applying the ARL on pack will help businesses understand their packaging and what their consumers are looking for. We know there is an increase in consumers looking for more sustainable packaging and the ARL is an easy-to-understand labelling system that removes the confusion around where a product should be placed in the recycling and waste stream.”

Marshall added, “The ARL provides businesses and suppliers the opportunity to undertake an assessment of their packaging, to understand their impact on packaging sustainability and, to source ARL approved packaging, through the ARL Marketplace website.”

Barry Cosier, Director of Sustainability, AFGC said, “The Australian Food and Grocery Council is supportive of all actions that lower the barriers to recycling for businesses and simplifies recycling for consumers. This initiative helps small, busy manufacturers navigate a complex recycling environment and empowers them to make sustainable packaging design choices effortlessly, enriching both their operations and our environment.”

ISB: How did you begin in your sustainability advocacy?

KF: I had been working in the sustainability sector for a few years, but it wasn’t until my daughters entered their teens and started showing an interest in fashion that I began exploring the intersection of fashion and sustainability. From the raw material inputs and energy-intensive production processes to the high consumption rates in Western society, the low utilization of garments, and the growing textile waste problem, the industry’s footprint is substantial. Learning about these issues – alongside the social inequalities woven into the industry – became a turning point for me. It inspired me to get involved and work toward creating meaningful change in fashion’s approach to sustainability.

ISB: Why is it important to you to set up a business like Reluv?

KF: We’re producing more clothing than ever, yet the number of times we wear each item is decreasing, with many people wearing an outfit only once or twice before discarding it. This throwaway culture is unsustainable. Our clothing needs and preferences evolve. We need convenient, accessible solutions for clothing that no longer fits or serves us. Circular fashion offers a range of strategies to ensure clothing is worn, cared for, and either upcycled or recycled at the end of its life, keeping it out of landfills. Resale is a key part of this circular solution, as it not only extends the life of garments but also has the potential to reduce the demand for new clothing, increasing the utilisation of what’s already in circulation.

ISB: What was the most challenging aspect of jumping into entrepreneurship from your office-based career and how did you overcome it? 

KF: When I started Reluv, I was working full-time in a sustainability role that I truly enjoyed. Leaving a secure, permanent role with excellent superannuation in my 50s was incredibly daunting. So I asked myself, “If I look back in a few years, will I regret doing this, or will I regret not doing it?” After 3.5 years of running Reluv as a side hustle, I knew I had to take the leap and commit to it full-time to see if I could truly scale the business. Confidence was another challenge – especially stepping into an industry I had never worked in before. It felt intimidating, and I battled with a healthy dose of imposter syndrome along the way. I learned to push through by focusing on my passion for sustainability and the potential impact Reluv could have. That drive kept me going despite the uncertainty and self-doubt.

ISB: How were you able to grow Reluv from a local business into a business with a nationwide presence?

KF: It took a combination of hard work, persistence, and patience. We started small, collecting clothing from people in our local area to see if they were interested in selling their quality pieces. We didn’t even have a website, so we paid people on the spot for their clothes while we built the platform. We transitioned to a consignment model and developed a portal where sellers can track the progress of their items and their payouts. Our interactive website allows customers to browse thousands of items with the convenience of trying before they buy, making offers, and enjoying a 14-day return policy – creating a seamless first-hand shopping experience for secondhand clothing. In addition, we’ve established key partnerships to help promote circular fashion. So far, we’ve kept thousands of garments in circulation, preventing a significant amount of clothing from ending up in landfills.

ISB: How do you envision Reluv’s growth in the next couple of years?

KF: Our primary goal is to maintain stability while navigating the economic downturn. If we can keep things steady during this period, we’ll be in a good position. Looking ahead, I envision scaling the volume of items we process and continually testing and learning with new technology to improve efficiency. Additionally, I hope to expand our partnership base, particularly with brands interested in offering branded resale options to their customers. This would allow us to not only grow Reluv but also strengthen our contribution to the circular fashion movement.

ISB: If you were to impart one important lesson to someone who aspires to be an entrepreneur, what would it be?

KF: Growing a business is a marathon, not a sprint. While it’s tempting to think success happens overnight, very few businesses scale quickly. It takes time, effort, and resilience. You need to learn to pace yourself, stay patient, and be prepared to bounce back from setbacks. The journey will be full of challenges, but perseverance and adaptability are key to long-term success.
