What Adelaide Central Market Authority is doing to reduce carbon emissions

The Adelaide Central Market is striving towards being carbon neutral through innovative practices while also encouraging businesses to thrive. Steps to reduce carbon emissions have included: 

  • the installation of LED lighting within the car park which dims down to 4W when there is no movement, such as overnight
  • using LED aisle lighting throughout the market floor and market management offices to reduce energy usage
  • ensuring that new stall leases have a clause requiring LED lighting to be installed
  • investigating solutions for water storage, battery storage, extra solar panels, more electric vehicle parking and waste management
  • working with stall holders to reduce organic material to reduce landfill.
