Queen Victoria Market is taking practical steps to reduce waste, cut emissions, and support a cleaner future.
Solar Panels
Over 1,500 solar panels have been installed as part of the Market Renewal Program, generating clean energy and reducing carbon emissions. More panels will be added as renewal works continue.
Worm Farm
Five on-site worm farms turn food scraps from traders into nutrient-rich fertiliser for Market plants, helping reduce food waste in a natural, low-maintenance way.
Pick-A-Box Stations
Grab a free cardboard box from Queen Street to carry your fresh produce. A simple, sustainable alternative to plastic bags.
Water Refill Stations
Six refill stations across the Market make it easy to top up your water bottle and cut down on single-use plastic bottles.
Single-Use Plastic Ban
The Market has banned plastic bags, straws, cutlery, foam containers, and balloons to help protect the environment and wildlife.
EV Charging Stations
The Market’s basement car park includes 12 EV charging stations, supporting low-emission travel and making it easy for you to charge while you shop.
