ResourceSmart Schools Awards sponsors
Sustainability Victoria is proud to collaborate with our generous sponsors to help deliver the ResourceSmart Schools Awards and to inspire our young people and schools to lead the way on sustainability.
The 2026 ResourceSmart Schools Awards would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors.
CDS Vic
Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme is a recycling initiative offering a 10 cent refund for each eligible drink container returned at hundreds of refund points across Victoria.
Victorians have returned 2.3 billion containers since the scheme launched. Containers collected through CDS Vic are turned into new recycled products – like drink bottles, cans and more!
Over 600 schools are registered to fundraise with the scheme. Collectively, they have raised thousands of dollars, funding new sport equipment and uniforms, bird baths, nestboxes, plants, worm farms and even new playground equipment.
Participation supports sustainability education, develops student leadership and problem-solving skills while creating a greener future and raising funds for their school – it’s a win-win!

'The Awards were really uplifting and inspiring. It's so important to take the time to come together to see what we're all doing, to share that and to celebrate each other's impacts - and to feel stronger together!'
