Clean Up Australia started with one man’s discovery of the rubbished state of the world’s oceans. Returning from an around-the-world sailing journey in 1987, Ian Kiernan AO reflected upon the appalling amount of rubbish he had sighted in oceans far and wide, including the legendary Sargasso Sea. It saddened him that humans across the world were treating the ocean as a vessel to hold human waste.

Instead of popping it in the nearest bin, he stashes it in his pocket and takes it home to his workshop, where he pulls it apart and separates into its individual parts before placing it in storage.
Clean Up Australia Chairman and Founder, Ian Kiernan AO, joined Auburn and Parramatta City Councils for the launch of Streamline, a new sustainable business program designed to reduce water and energy use and minimise waste production in Sydney’s industrial heartland.
