Construction and Demolition Products: Challenges and Opportunities in Western Australia

There is a strong appetite for increasing the recovery of materials and decreasing waste in Western Australia. Recently the State Government has:

• run a large program for the receipt of public submissions on the papers ‘Closing the Loop: Waste reforms for a circular economy’ and ‘Review of the waste levy – consultation paper;’
• planned to introduce the Container Deposit Scheme in October 2020; and
• published the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030 which outlines the aim to increase the recovery of material in the C&D Sector to 80% by 2030.

With this in mind, the Construction & Demolition industry, a sector which makes up around half of Western Australia’s waste stream, is primed for innovation.

This seminar brings together leading specialists to present their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities for the future uptake of recycled construction and demolition products in Western Australia.
