National Waste Policy

The National Waste Policy is a framework guiding how Australia manages and reduces waste to protect the environment, support economic growth, and improve community health. It emphasizes reducing waste generation, increasing recycling and reuse, and avoiding landfill. The policy promotes sustainable practices, innovation in waste management, and collaboration among governments, industry, and communities. Its goal is to create a circular economy where materials are reused and recycled efficiently, minimizing environmental impact while encouraging responsible consumption and waste disposal.
