The Australasian Waste and Recycling Expo (AWRE) 2024

EC Sustainable resourced two staff to attend the Australasian Waste and Recycling Expo (AWRE) 2024 Summit at International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) in July 2024.

ICC Sydney is a venue committed to reducing waste. EC Sustainable recently completed a waste audit with End Food Waste Australia to assist with their programs to reduce food waste.

At AWRE, our discussions with stakeholders and event talks that were of interest to supplement work at EC Sustainable were:

• Circular economy.
• FOGO collection and processing.
• The residential bin system; 3 or 4 bins – including FOGO and including or excluding glass recycling.
• The bin system after a Container Deposit Scheme (CDS).
• Resource recovery markets in Australia and exports.
• Battery collection; disposal, recycling and extended producer responsibility.
• Other problem waste management.
