Inside Bel’s Practical Path to Low Waste
Reducing waste at home can feel overwhelming for families, individuals and communities. It’s so hard to know where to start and make habits stick!
Bel has been reducing her personal waste footprint for twenty years, and knows the challenge, but also joy when it works, all too well. She knows the ‘how to’ like the back of her hand. Being an avid sharer, reuser, repairer, zero waste shopper, and preloved seller and purchaser, she has her finger on the Australian pulse for all things sustainable consumption and circularity in the home.

Bel is a legend. She has enthusiastically joined us on stage at the Woodford Folk Festival in 2023 and 2024, with practical tips and endless energy for waste prevention contributing to our greater mission at Woodfordia.
She is a very experienced Waste Specialist and one with a difference to most consultants that we work with. She isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty, she visibly lives her core values and has identified and curated real-world actions, which are scalable, for our community to improve waste streams.
