 project partners Zero Waste Lifeline was commissioned by Zero Waste SA with support from the Government of South Australia through Arts SA, Department for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy, and Department for Environment and Heritage. A project steering committee with representatives from these agencies, as well as the City of Port Adelaide Enfield Council, has overseen the development of the project since 2005. arts sa Arts SA's public art and design program promotes and facilitates the commissioning of high quality works of art and design in the public arena, enhancing the public experience of contemporary art and encouraging professional opportunities for artists. The involvement of artists and designers in projects in the public realm results in extremely varied outcomes. Artwork may be functional or non-functional, permanent or temporary. Projects may be undertaken through a collaborative approach between artists and other design professionals or may be realised with the involvement of community members, either through consultation or participation. Projects are generally site specific and include stand-alone sculptural works and integrated elements within urban infrastructure and landscaping projects. Zero Waste SA acknowledges the assistance provided by Jennifer Layther, Manager Public Art and Design. See Support and Funding/Public Art and Design.  department for transport, infrastructure and energy The Transport Services Division, Department for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy has an important role in the management of the State's transport system. The department supported the project as part of the Port River Expressway. Zero Waste SA acknowledges the assistance of Jeff Goode, Regional Manager, Metropolitan, Transport Services Division. city of port adelaide enfield council The City of Port Adelaide Enfield is responsible for the care of the Zero Waste Lifeline. Zero Waste SA acknowledges the support of George Levay, Manager Parks and Gardens, Vesna Rozman, Arts and Cultural Development Officer and Andrew Cowley, Wetlands Ranger during his tenure at the Council. Vesna Rozman says: We are proud to be the custodian of such a valuable piece of public art. Council is committed to environmental strategies concerning the reduction, recycling and reusing of materials wherever possible. The idea of a Zero Waste society is certainly food for thought as we look upon the fluidity of Zero Waste Lifeline. The trio of skeletal forms allow interpretation on many levels and will be a great educational tool and talking point for the community for many years to come. amcor recycling Zero Waste SA thanks Vince Pascale, Sales and Quality Engineer for the supply of 675 claret-shaped bottles in three different colours which are encased in wire 'cages' within the Zero Waste Lifeline forms. All clear, green and amber glass bottle and jars are suitable for recycling, however, too many of these items are still ending up in landfill. Located near the Barossa Valley north of Adelaide, the Amcor Glass Packaging plant incorporates two of the largest dedicated glass manufacturing furnaces in the world. In 1999, Amcor became one of the first members of the National Packaging Covenant in Australia. The Covenant aims to reduce the impact of packaging products on the environment. The company is also a strong supporter of the Beverage Industry Recycling Council and the Buy Recycling Business Alliance. Amcor Glass has secured the vast majority of South Australia's recycling glass. The plant uses 40% recycled glass, or cullet, as raw material in the final glass-bottle manufacturing process. collaborations committee of the royal australian institute of architects In March 2006 Zero Waste SA partnered with the Collaborations Steering Committee of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects to hold a multi-disciplinary 'ideas generation' workshop titled Xpress 06.
