The Good Stuff: Social Enterprise and Circularity Experience

  • Market
  • Talk

Discover a different side of Melbourne’s iconic Queen Victoria Market – where business is being used to do good for people and planet.

At the Purpose Precinct, Australia’s first dedicated social enterprise marketplace, discover the changemakers rethinking how we shop, work and tackle social and environmental challenges.

Hear some of the First Nations history of the site, uncover the stories behind some of Victoria’s most innovative social enterprises and explore products from more than 80 purpose-led businesses.

Then go behind the scenes of the Market’s Circular Economy Precinct to see how they're tackling waste – from rescuing surplus food to turning discarded materials into new products. You’ll even take home a circular product created right here at the Market.

Meet at STREAT cafe (F27), top of F Shed, Peel Street, Queen Victoria Market.
