Nicholas and Ben's social enterprise, A Curious Tractor (ACT), aims to transform plastic waste into valuable, sustainable products for remote Australian communities. The initiative addresses waste reduction while fostering community resilience, enhancing local economies, and promoting sustainability.
Their first product, a durable and eco-friendly bed and mattress, tackles the acute need for essential goods in remote areas. By involving local residents in the production process, ACT stimulates the local economy and promotes a sense of ownership and pride within the community.
