WEBINAR SERIES 2014 Association for Sustainability in Business Inc
The State of Waste
When: Thursday April 17th 2014 – 1-1.45 PM
45 minutes, 30 minutes presentation, 15 minutes Q&A
The webinar presentation will explore the relationship between landfill pricing and recycling and document the key initiatives required over the next decade to drive improved recycling in the MSW, C+I and C+D sectors.
Australia generates 46.8 MT of waste. Despite steady increases in the rate of recovery (av. 52%), the waste generated between 2002/03 and 2008/09 grew by 40%, while population increased by only 10% (SoE Report NSW, 2013).
Recycling is probably the only growth area in the manufacturing sector in Australia. We create nine jobs in recycling for every job in landfill.
