In a world where every choice we make can have a lasting impact, the concept of “green living” or embracing a more sustainable lifestyle is gaining momentum. But did you know that making environmentally conscious choices not only benefits the environment but can also work wonders for your budget and community? At Resource Recovery Australia and Reviva, we’re on a mission to make sustainable living accessible, affordable, and rewarding.
Why Go Green?
The question on many minds: Why go green? Well, it turns out, the benefits are abundant.
1. Budget-Friendly Finds
Reviva offers a haven for those seeking quality items at affordable prices. Our second-hand treasures span from furniture to homewares, hardware to bikes, allowing you to adorn your space with unique finds that won’t cost the earth – both figuratively and literally. Dive into a world where style meets budget, where you can discover items that not only make a statement but also keep your wallet smiling.
2. Environmental Impact
Choosing second-hand isn’t just about scoring incredible deals; it’s about making a conscious effort to care for our environment. Did you know that thousands of tonnes of items end up in landfill every year? By shopping at Reviva, you become a part of the solution, helping divert waste from landfill and giving pre-loved items a second chance at life. It’s a small act that collectively makes a big difference.

When you shop at Reviva, you’re not only making a positive impact on your budget and the environment, but you’re also contributing to the well-being of our community.
Reviva: More than a shop
Reviva is about connection. It’s about making choices that resonate with purpose and values. It’s about embracing a lifestyle that is great for your budget, amazing for our community, and fantastic for the environment.
So, let’s embark on a journey together. Let’s choose sustainability without compromising style. Let’s make conscious decisions that echo through our homes, communities, and the planet. Thank you for being a part of our mission, for supporting Reviva, and for contributing to #WASTE2WAGES. Join us in creating a world where every purchase tells a story of positive change. 💚🌍✨

Addressing Consumption to Tackle Waste in Australia
Australia faces a critical challenge: can we move beyond our linear business-as-usual approach to truly embrace a circular economy? Gayle Sloan, CEO of the Waste Management and Resource Recovery Association of Australia (WMRR), highlights that while Australians are concerned about the environment, our materialistic lifestyle drives waste generation. Since 2005, Australia’s waste per capita has surged, underscoring the need for a national conversation on consumption.
