Hub leader, Prof Veena Sahajwalla AO, has encouraged Australians to think about the durability and end-of-life destination of their purchases, as Amazon Haul launches in Australia.
10 News Sydney says it's the latest cheap online shopping marketplace to target Australian shoppers.
Speaking to the broadcaster, Prof Sahajwalla said, "These products are really not going to be that durable. They're not going to last that long. They're probably going to end up in landfill."
"We need to always think about how our purchasing power can actually make a real difference," she said.
The Sustainable Communities and Waste Hub is producing research to support the development of sustainable communities and Australia's transition to a circular economy.
