4worldlovers: Innovative and sustainable furniture solutions, made in Australia, across three design philosophies.

Ethically-sourced sustainable furniture, homewares, art, rugs, lighting and gifts for the home.

People have always made things. Cultures for centuries have had their methods. Unfortunately, design-for-the-masses has taken over.

But this isn’t about nostalgia and going back to the simple ways.

This is about revisiting the ways in which things were made more sustainably from natural or recycled materials.

It’s the return of design that inspires us and truly cares about its lasting impact. Design for a circular economy rather than a linear one.

We’re about making change in the design world by giving back to the communities that have been underserved and promoting sustainable design that is good for people and the planet.

Our philosophy guides us to not only inspire the next generation of makers, but inspire people to make a change with how they choose to furnish their homes, offices and learning environments.

Koskela was founded by partners Russel Koskela and Sasha Titchkosky in 2000, who left behind lucrative careers in the corporate world in a bid to create a furniture and design company with a courageous mindset and strong social conscience. They sought to bring their vision to life with Australian manufacturing. The ongoing success of Koskela can be attributed to the integrity of the founders who remain true to their original vision and values.

When we design or work with makers, we ask how ourselves: will this make things better? Will it leave a real and lasting impression on people without leaving a big footprint on the planet? Is this part of a more circular economy?

We seek out the individuals and communities with their local customs and practices that we think are doing something special. We want to show everyone the magic that can come from collaborating with local artisans that have a different take on the world.

Everything we design is done with the purpose of enriching the spaces we inhabit so life is more pleasurable. We see the emotional connection with our spaces being just as important as the functional use of each piece.

As a Certified B Corporation, Koskela believes that business can be a force for good. Our impact is what drives us, and we focus on two causes where we can make a significant difference.

Koskela is committed to tread as lightly as possible on the natural world. We consider our impact on the planet in the way our products are designed, made and what goes into them, as well as in the way we do business. Koskela's Future Fit program will transition all Koskela’s products in our furniture store to a closed loop system and ensure we achieve our goal of lowering carbon emissions to Absolute Zero by 2030 (without offsets). We want to lead the way in an industry that has often been detrimental to the natural world. Koskela designer furniture, Sydney, is manufactured in Australia,.

Koskela is deeply committed to reconciling with our First Nations history and cultures. One of the ways we do this is to create income earning opportunities for First Nations artists and makers through collaborative design projects. This generates an income independent of Government, helping artists to continue to live a life they have chosen to lead and maintain their traditional practices. It also facilitates artists to access markets outside the traditional art markets, enabling them to tell their stories and showcase their cultures to a broader audience. To date we have collaborated with 71 First Nations artist and art centre partners, generating over $1.4 million in income.

4worldlovers: Veolia has developed a new general solid waste rail transfer facility at an existing industrial site in Banksmeadow, in Sydney’s south. The development of this infrastructure is fundamental to the security and advancement of environmentally sustainable resource recovery solutions for NSW.

The facility receives up to 400,000 tonnes of waste per annum, with mixed household waste containerised for transfer to Veolia’s site at Woodlawn by rail for treatment and resource recovery. In the coming months, all dry recyclable material will be consolidated and transferred to Veolia’s new recycling facility currently being scoped in Camellia.

This is a significant piece of state infrastructure which is consistent with government policy, utilising the freight rail network for transport and facilitating greater resource recovery, by opening up access to remote treatment solutions to form part of Sydney’s long-term waste strategy. This facility further supports existing source separated initiatives such as kerbside recycling. It helps meet the NSW Government’s targets for waste reduction and will lead to better outcomes for the environment by minimising the amount of waste going to landfill.

The facility provides choice and competition for the region, delivering a much needed innovative and sustainable resource recovery solution that can respond to local government and commercial demands now and into the future. This is supported by Southern Sydney Region of Councils’ recent confirmation of Veolia as the preferred supplier for its long term Advanced Waste Treatment contract, which will increase the recovery of resources from their waste stream.

Veolia encourages all local residents and businesses to visit Planning and Infrastructure's website to view the plans for the Banksmeadow Transfer Terminal.

Veolia has operated the Woodlawn Bioreactor, a secure, engineered landfill facility, located 250 km south west of Sydney, since 2004, providing a solution for the management of 40% of Sydney’s waste via the Clyde Transfer Terminal.

Other activities on the site include green energy generation, aquaculture and horticulture, windfarming, and agriculture. The proposed mechanical biological treatment facility producing compost for mine site rehabilitation will compliment these existing innovative and sustainable initiatives on site.

Veolia has undertaken to rehabilitate the former Woodlawn mine site to rectify the environmental disturbance caused by over 20 years of mining activities. This includes the reclamation of the mine void with stabilised waste and progressive remediation of other contaminated areas through application of compost from the proposed facility.

The utilisation of the Woodlawn site to it’s maximum permitted capacity, through the development of resource recovery solutions is dependent on developing additional transfer infrastructure in Sydney.

Veolia has proven experience operating the Clyde facility, one of the most efficient transfer facilities in the world, with noise reduction and odour management systems that have set new environmental and technical benchmarks for waste facilities. Now at capacity, the rail transport solution is already reducing local truck movements by 37,500 per annum.

The Banksmeadow facility will replicate this best practice, and could further reduce the number of truck movements on Sydney’s roads by an additional 30,000 per annum.

Veolia has over 100 years of global experience positively engaging with local communities and stakeholders and is committed to minimising the impact of its activities on the local environment. This includes working with local Councils to develop waste education programs for schools and interested community groups and establishing community liaison groups within the areas we operate.

Veolia also has a history of funding local community projects through partnership with relevant local councils. For example, at Woodlawn, Veolia in partnership with Goulburn Mulwaree Council established the Mulwaree Trust. The principle purpose of the fund is to contribute to projects that significantly improve the lives and environment of the communities within the Goulburn Mulwaree Shire and surrounding regions.

As part of our investigation into the Banksmeadow Transfer Terminal, Veolia has undertaken a dedicated program of consultation with government and community stakeholders.
