Last updated: 11 October 2023
Casafico is a finalist for a Community Champion award in the Premier's Sustainability Awards 2023 – Waste and recycling solutions category. Casafico, a family-owned, Victorian-based manufacturer, makes premium building materials from recycled waste. Its sustainable range includes Coharo Coatings and Tecoblock, lightweight and efficient construction options that replace scarce resources like sand and marble with recycled materials. The company actively collects waste and implements on-site recycling to reduce landfill use and disposal costs.
In the past year, Casafico increased the amount of waste it uses from 50% to 66%. It also introduced the world's first sustainable Venetian Plaster, made from glass instead of non-renewable marble. The company's glass recycling capacity increased from 34 metric tonnes per year to 30 metric tonnes per month.
