FOUNDER STORY
ABOUT KATE
My quest/calling is to change how we think about waste.
Changing Waste Patterns started with a simple but nagging question: How do we reduce our waste without increasing costs? That question and an introduction to Permaculture was like putting on new glasses. The shift changed my life and I’ve made it my goal to help businesses, community groups and individuals to reduce waste, value resources and respect our planet as I have done.
I collaborate with councils, businesses, community groups and individuals to initiate events, programs and strategies that reduce waste, rethink packaging and create lasting impact. I have witnessed the incredible things that happen when people come together for a common goal.
My approach is all about blending traditional values—like reusing, repairing, and conserving—with a fresh look at modern challenges. I’ve learned that change doesn’t happen overnight, but with a bit of patience, creativity, and a commitment to doing things differently, we can absolutely make it happen.
People often ask me, “How do you know so much about this? Can you help us do the same?” And that’s why I’m here—to share what I’ve learned, support businesses, community groups and individuals. To inspire a healthier, more sustainable way of living.
Let’s change our waste patterns together, one small step at a time.
