It’s time to turn the tide. At Summer X Salt, we are deeply committed to ensuring that our planet is nurtured and cared for, not just for today, but for generations to come. Our commitment goes beyond being a marketplace — we actively implement sustainable practices that make a positive impact on our community and the environment.
We are proud to host markets that are completely free of single-use plastics and aim to be waste-free. All our vendors are required to avoid single-use plastics by offering recyclable and compostable alternatives. We encourage stallholders to reduce packaging and promotional materials to minimise waste. The waste produced at our markets is meticulously managed, ensuring it is either recycled, repurposed, or composted.
At Summer X Salt Markets, we’re committed to creating a zero-waste environment, and our Mug Library is a key part of that mission. By borrowing a reusable mug from our library, you’re making a simple yet impactful choice that helps eliminate coffee cup waste. With 1.2 billion coffee cups ending up in landfill every year, this small change has a big impact.
You don’t even have to remember to bring your own cup — our reusable system makes it easy to enjoy your favourite market drinks without the waste. Each mug is sanitised and cleaned on-site, ready for you to use and return, ensuring that no disposable cups end up in our landfill or oceans.
By participating in our Summer X Salt Mug Library, you’re not just making a sustainable choice for yourself — you’re part of a larger movement toward a zero-waste future. Let’s work together to reduce our carbon footprint and protect our beautiful planet, one sip at a time. So, bring your mug or borrow one, and help save a turtle while enjoying your market experience.
Reusable juice cups, plates, bowls and cutlery available too!
We’re proud to share that Summer X Salt Markets continues to lead the way as a carbon positive marketplace. With the support of Carbon Positive Australia, we’ve not only offset our emissions but also contributed to restoring degraded lands across Australia. Since 2021, thanks to the community’s support, we’ve planted 1,141 seedlings, restored 1 hectare of land, and captured 163.6 tonnes of carbon. This year, we continue to make lasting impacts through native tree plantings, fostering biodiversity, and improving our ecosystems.
When you visit our markets, you’re helping to create a more sustainable and resilient future for our planet. Let’s keep working together to reduce our carbon footprint and make a real difference — consider coming to the market by bike, on foot, or even catching a wave down!
A special thanks to Dorado Property for partnering with us on this impactful journey. Together, we’re helping our land and oceans thrive.
We believe in guilt-free consumption, knowing that the products and services you enjoy are created with love for both people and the planet. Every stallholder application is carefully reviewed through a thorough screening process to ensure that all responsible production criteria are met. We are committed to supporting vendors who share our values of sustainability and ethical production.
We’re all about taking action! Each month this season, we host a Trigg Beach cleanup in collaboration with Sea Shepherd and the Salt Water Cleanup Crew. These dedicated volunteers help keep our treasured coastline clean, protected, and preserved, while sharing their knowledge and educating those they meet along the way. All ages are welcome to participate!
Meet us at Clarko Reserve, next to the playground, where you can grab a bucket and gloves, then head down to the beach to help keep the sea plastic-free. We provide gloves, bags, and litter tongs, but feel free to bring your own if you have them. Don’t forget to bring your hat, sunscreen, and enclosed shoes to stay safe and comfortable while you work.
Join us in making a tangible difference to our environment. Together, we can keep the sea plastic-free!
