The Cooperative Research Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment (CRC CARE) is a partnership of organisations dedicated to developing new ways of dealing with and preventing contamination of soil, water and air including solid and liquid waste management. We focus Australia’s foremost expertise and resources on this issue and develop close links with research partners at the cutting edge in this field around the world.

W W W. C R C C A R E . C O M

The Global Centre for Environmental Remediation (GCER) at the University of Newcastle is a leading proponent of risk-based approaches to the clean-up or management of contaminated sites. We focus on in situ remediation – cleaning up contamination where it lies, rather than the traditional 'dig and dump' approach that has led to an unsustainable growth in landfills in Australia and worldwide. Together with a risk-based approach, this potentially saves industry millions, if not billions, of dollars annually and makes clean-up far more feasible and attractive.
