Knox, VIC leads feasability study on reusable sanitary products with neighboring councils

Knox and five Melbourne-area councils are surveying local residents about sanitary and incontinence products. The survey asks about product types in use and past experiences with reusable items. Council officials are seeking insights into why participants may be reluctant or inconsistent with their reusable product use. The study will produce best practices for council efforts to reduce the 15% of landfill waste composed of single-use items like diapers and pads.
