THE VALUE OF PLANNING … for waste recycling, recovery and reduction

We all produce waste in our daily lives and as our population increase so does our waste generation. The situation not only has long term impacts on the environment, but can also bring unwanted social and economic impacts. We can do better to reduce these impacts if we harness the value of materials we dispose of and return them to a productive use.

This seminar brings toward views from the private sector and the State Government, both of whom are seeking to make waste a more sustainable product by being recycled and reused to manage the waste we create.
