Erina Fair and Fawkner Property are committed to delivering a sustainable future for all our stakeholders. We recognise the legacy of our activities and we are accountable for what we take, what we create and what we leave behind. Erina Fair is continually working to reduce its impact on the local environment and contribute to the local economy and community. The centre is implementing a number of exciting initiatives as part of our commitment to sustainability.
Australians use approximately 1 billion disposable coffee cups each year. While reusable cups are growing in popularity, many people still prefer the convenience of a takeaway cup.
To help combat this growing waste problem, Erina Fair has partnered with Simply Cups, Australia’s first coffee cup recycling program and have introduced five dedicated Coffee Cup Recycling Bins throughout the centre for our Retailers and Customers to support this war on waste and help make a positive difference to the environment.
The six new recycling bins can be located in the following areas;
• Coles Fresh Food Precinct near Sutcliffe Meats
• Outside Woolworths
• Entry to the Foodcourt
• Fashion Mall near Lorna Jane
• Kmart Mall near Priceline
Since the Simply Cups recycling program began in Australia in April 2017, over 13.9 million cups have been diverted from landfill Nationally with this tally growing on a daily basis. Instead, Simply Cups have worked with innovators to transform the disposable cups into new products, including building materials, garden beds, bench seats, coat hangers, husky reusable cups, kerbing and more exciting product ranges to be announced in the future.
The Erina Fair community has embraced this initiative in a phenomenal manner and we are so proud to report that we have successfully diverted in excess of ONE and A HALF MILLION cups from landfill as of October 2025. Let’s keep up the great work and we look forward to providing further positive updates in the future.
