Waste and Recycling in Australia

To help the Australian Government and industry better understand waste and recycling activity across the country, Arcadis created a national report using an innovative approach to the quantification of the environmental benefits of recycling.

In developing the landmark report, Arcadis sourced contemporary and comparable recycling, energy recovery and disposal to landfill data for the first time, while also compiling a carbon impact assessment of waste disposed to landfill.

Arcadis’ work contributed to new waste management strategies and policies by all levels of government across the country and helped to identity barriers to resource recovery.
