Australian Open and CDS Vic partnership

The Australian Open has announced an innovative partnership with the Victorian Container Deposit Scheme (CDS Vic) for AO 2025.

The initiative aims to reduce waste, promote recycling and support grassroot tennis communities across the state.

Under the partnership, CDS Vic will become the presenting partner of the Australian Open’s recycling hubs and well-known Trash Talkers – a dedicated team who are on-site throughout the tournament to provide information and support fans in correctly disposing of their waste.

The program aims to promote behaviour change by generating awareness of the scheme, ensuring the precinct remains litter-free, and making waste management an engaging experience.
