LITTERING
122. That's how many pieces of litter sit in every 1,000m² of Queensland.
Roadsides. Parks. Waterways. Retail strips. It builds quietly — until it doesn't. Plastic is the most prevalent material, with nearly 70 littered items per 1,000m². Most of it? Preventable. All of it? Costly.
In 2024–25, Queensland councils spent $20 million cleaning up 13,107 tonnes of litter and illegally dumped waste — 1,211 garbage truck loads. That's taxpayer money. Community money. Gone.
Earth Wing Gathers it. Recovers it. Gives it a second life.
We don't just clean up the problem. We close the loop — turning what's discarded into something purposeful. Every piece collected is one less vote for a dirtier Queensland.
ILLEGAL DUMPING
183,955 wheelie bins. That's how much waste was illegally dumped across Queensland in a single year.
46 councils investigated over 20,000 reports of illegal dumping, with 51.67 million litres of illegally dumped waste reported — and over 82% of all incidents occurred on council land. Household waste. Tyres. Construction rubble. White goods. All of it, someone else's problem to clean up.
Litter and illegal dumping costs Queensland over $50 million every year. The irony? In most cases, doing it legally would have cost less.
Earth Wing makes the right choice the easy choice.
Responsible collection. Documented. Traceable. End-to-end. When you choose Earth Wing, you're not just disposing of waste — you're part of a chain you can stand behind.
PLASTICS
It starts on land. But it ends up here — on the Great Barrier Reef.
Plastic makes up more than 80% of all marine debris found on the Great Barrier Reef — threatening turtles, dugongs, dolphins, and seabirds. It breaks into smaller pieces, travels vast distances, and the damage compounds.
Every year, approximately 130,000 tonnes of plastic leaks into Australia's marine environment. 84% of plastic used is sent to landfill. Only 13% is recycled. The system is broken. The ocean is paying for it.
Earth Wing intercepts plastic before it disappears.
We collect it. Reimagine it. Craft it into something new. Rice husk plates. Recovered materials. Products built from what would have been pollution. Soil to Soil. Not soil to sea.
