Strength in Kinship, Care for Country: Reconciliation on the Road

We’re proud to see IKON Waste Solutions bringing our commitment to reconciliation to life, with two of our new trucks now on the road featuring commissioned artwork from our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan.

Titled Strength in Kinship, Care for Country, the artwork reflects our shared values of connection, responsibility and respect, making our reconciliation commitments visible in the everyday work we do.

Developed through a Yarning Time workshop led by proud Noongar Yamatji woman and artist Kirby Bentley, the piece tells a story of kinship, the guidance of Elders, and our ongoing responsibility to care for Country. The kangaroos within the design symbolise strength, unity and leadership, representing how IKON continues to walk alongside First Nations peoples with authenticity and purpose.

Seeing this artwork carried across our fleet marks a meaningful milestone – a tangible and public expression of our Innovate RAP, and a reminder that reconciliation is something we actively live, not just document.
