Sustainability at Lollipop Speech

Making a Difference Together

At Lollipop Speech, we believe that every small action can make a big difference. As a speech pathology clinic committed to sustainability, we take pride in reducing our carbon footprint while delivering exceptional care to our clients. Here are some of the ways we’re working to create a greener future for our little ones and beyond.

Recycling Difficult Items with Recycle Smart

We’re proud to partner with Recycle Smart, a service that allows us to responsibly recycle those tricky items that often end up in landfill. This includes:

• Soft plastics

• Batteries

• Toys

• Textiles

• Ink cartridges

• Technology (e.g., old iPads and other devices)

By subscribing to this service, we ensure that these items are given a second life or disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.

Reducing Waste and Repurposing Toys

We’re passionate about reducing waste in our clinic. For items like toys that are no longer in use, we donate them to families or recycle them via Recycle Smart. This helps extend the life of these items and keeps them out of landfill. Additionally, we’ve chosen to use compostable baby wipes and 100% recycled paper for our handouts, further minimizing our environmental impact.

Using Rechargeable Batteries

For toys and tools that require batteries, we’ve committed to exclusively using rechargeable batteries. This simple switch reduces the number of single-use batteries we consume, cutting down on waste and saving resources.

Driving Toward Zero Emissions

Our founder drives a fully electric vehicle to all community visits. This choice significantly reduces our carbon emissions and aligns with our goal of operating as a low-impact, sustainable business. By prioritising eco-friendly transportation, we’re helping to pave the way for a cleaner, greener future.

A Small Carbon Footprint with Big Impact

Through these combined efforts, we’re proud to maintain a small carbon footprint as both a business and as individuals. Our sustainability initiatives reflect our core values of care and responsibility—not just for our clients, but for the planet we all share.

Why It Matters

At Lollipop Speech, we see sustainability as an extension of the care we provide. By taking steps to reduce our environmental impact, we’re contributing to a healthier world for the children and families we support. Together, we can make a difference and inspire others to take action, no matter how small.

Thank you for choosing a clinic that values sustainability. We’re excited to partner with you on this journey toward a greener future!
