Making a real and sustainable impact. Together.


Our 2025 Sustainability Report shows how we’re making sustainability practical, affordable, and part of everyday life. From recycling batteries, lightbulbs, and garden pots to finding ways to reduce construction waste, we’re helping customers make better choices.

Sustainability is about people and partnerships, as well as planet. We’ve collectively invested over $3.3 million in community support and projects and over 2,000 community groups have used the BBQs at our stores for fundraising.

Read the full report and see how we’re building for better together.

Waste Hierarchy Funnel

Did you know recycling is one of the last steps in the waste hierarchy funnel? Before we recycle or dispose of rubbish, there are other steps we can take.

1. Waste Prevention- Avoid buying, and instead borrow or share
2. Reuse – Maintain and fix rather than buy again or replace
3. Repurpose – Upcycle, sell 2nd hand, share or gift
4. Recycling – Use council kerbside or take to recycling collection points like Mitre 10 pot recycle bins
5. Disposal – Last resort into landfill

As a co-operative of family-owned businesses, sustainable governance is a strategic priority for Mitre 10. Click here to view more.
