Case study: A Maze'n Things

A Maze'n Things

A Maze’N Things is an award-winning tourist attraction on Phillip Island. They are working to reduce carbon emissions as much as possible.

So far, the business has installed 264 solar panels on its roof and has now run out of space. The solar supplies about half of A Maze'N Things' electricity needs. When asked about the solar system the business owners said they get more than just power out of their solar system; it makes them feel good and they get the satisfaction of paying smaller power bills.

A Maze'N Things also have a big focus on reducing waste, trying to minimise take away cups and plastic bags. Ground staff go through the rubbish at the end of the day to separate waste into compostables, soft and hard plastics, paper, and landfill waste. This approach is not only good for the environment, it also reduces expenses as they can dispose of recycling waste for free whereas waste-to-landfill attracts a charge.
