When it comes to waste production, Australia is amongst the top developed countries in the world to contribute - responsible for more than 76 million tonnes of waste on a yearly basis - an alarming figure that continues to rise.
As Australia’s waste crisis continues to escalate, legislation, better funding and implementation of thorough policies will help to shift the dial and provide a much-needed framework that outlines ways to improve infrastructure, increase recycling rates, tackle food and organic waste, and support better waste management reduction, recycling, and re-use initiatives.
At a crucial turning point for the industry, Waste Expo Australia returns to Melbourne on October 26th and 27th, delivering insight into the latest developments in managing waste and recycling, and covering the pertinent issues impacting the waste and recycling sector.
Robby Clark, Portfolio Director for the Energy & Waste Portfolio highlights that the “Waste Expo is all about collaboration, and this year, the event will provide an opportunity to bring the industry back together in person. The Expo is designed to enable attendees to hear about innovative solutions, and how they can transform their operations, and gain practical information and insights at the high-caliber conference. There is no other event in Australia that gives you the opportunity to hear from some of the biggest names in the industry and do business with leading suppliers for free.”
The free-to-attend conference and exhibition is the country’s largest gathering of waste management and resource recovery professionals. The show floor features over 100 exhibitors showcasing their solutions, with a conference featuring over 70 industry speakers who will deliver key insights on industry innovation, updates on policy and regulation, and case studies with practical and tangible solutions from industry experts who are shaping the future direction of waste and recycling in Australia.
Waste Expo Australia will once again be held in partnership with the Waste Innovation & Recycling Awards. Recognising excellence across waste and resource recovery, the awards will take place on Wednesday 26 October, with nominations open now.
Waste Expo Australia is co-located with All-Energy Australia, forming the largest gathering for waste and recycling management, clean and renewable energy, and energy storage professionals in the country. Free registration is available at https://www.wasteexpoaustralia.com.au/.
