Framing the Recycling Industry
• Green jobs• Genuine sustainability• Essential for circular economy• Great vehicle for community engagement• The world is running out of resources• Price increases and volatility

Inefficient systems in the materials economy!
• Valuable finite secondary commodities• Needs system put in place= govt• Would govt’s tolerate a banking system that
lost half the money?• Sending resources to landfills is the economic
equivalent of creating low grade mining ore deposits
• Costing Local Govt’s $$$$$$$$......

The “old” waste hierarchy in recovery processes
• All resources are inherently limited• Used by Government• At Kerbside, new technologies for
avoidance are undermining the recyclability of packaging and/or packaging recovery
• Avoidance/cost minimisation should not be at the expense of viable recovery options
• This is linear, not circular, but a useful intermediate /transitional framework

Kerbside Regulatory trends
Notable trends
• Waste levies $35-$125 tonne (ex Qld)• Plastic bag bans coming in• 1-4 kerbside system bins• CDL, cash for containers S.A and N.T• CDL allows jurisdictions to accept or reject new
containers based on packaging material or design.• Ban of land filling of packaging materials.• Recovery/ recycling targets set• Community expectations and engagement

How can we help?Some Q’s Local Governments often ask
ACOR•Where is the critical information to play their role in resource recovery and recycling?
•What regulatory changes are going to affect my local government?
•Where can we go to network with private sector providers of resource recovery and recycling services outside of tender probity requirements and the occasional conference?
•How should local governments allocate risk in tender documents?
•How do local governments make sure they are getting value for money in delivering recycling services?
