Environmental Sustainability
PACIA delivers additional support to members, through our Liquid Futures, Carbon Solutions and Life Cycle Programs.
PACIA members should log in through the Business Toolkit section to access our member only program resources.
Liquid Futures
PACIA’s Liquid Futures Program offers key information, support and technical assistance to members and industry about water and trade waste efficiency measures, regulations and actions.
Carbon Solutions
Responding now to impending energy price rises and emissions trading will position PACIA members for an energy constrained future. PACIA's Carbon Solutions program delivers tailored assistance to PACIA members and access to essential carbon and energy information, tools, resources and support.
Life Cycle
Businesses that adopt a life cycle approach to their products, services and decision making - from initial design to marketing and procurement - will uncover a wealth of efficiencies, savings and opportunities. PACIA's Life Cycle Program delivers tailored assistance to PACIA members and access to essential information, tools, resources and support. Our Design for Sustainability (D4S) Quickstarts provide valuable information for designers and specifiers using the industry's products.
Sustainability Program Partners
PACIA partners with key organisations, departments and agencies across Australia to support delivery of our environmental sustainability programs.
EPA Victoria is a foundation partner to these programs through our joint Sustainability Covenant. "EPA Victoria is pleased to support its Sustainability Covenant with PACIA. This Covenant is a committment by PACIA and EPA to work together to help industry develop creative and innovative approaches to ensure their future business sustainability."
Working together with regulators
PACIA is frequently approached to provide advice to government on changes to regulations. We often seek input from our members.
