The Waste Expo Australia will be opening its doors in October to over 3,000 attendees, including representatives from waste services, landfill, government, consultancy and material recovery facilities. Waste Expo Australia provides an important opportunity to collaborate with and hear from industry-leading experts across the waste and resource recovery value chain.
Waste Expo Australia will feature for the first time a Government Lounge featuring Sustainability Victoria, Recycling Victoria, and EPA Victoria. Located on the exhibition floor, this new addition will be a hub for discussions and insights into the future of waste management and sustainability in Victoria.
The two-day event runs across 23-24 October, with a conference covering four key streams; Government & Policy, Circular Economy, Construction and Demolition and Commercial and Industrial (CD&CI), and Waste to Energy & Case Studies. As the nation’s largest gathering of waste management professionals, the Expo brings together leaders in waste, recycling, resource recovery and sustainability, providing a platform for discussion and collaboration.
Anne Prince, Director of APC Waste Consultants, is moderating the first session for the Government and Policy stream. With the help of panelists from VicReturn, TOMRA Cleanaway, Return It and VISY, the panel will look at the recently implemented Victorian Container Deposit Scheme.
“Waste Expo is the perfect platform from which to review Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme [CDS]. Evaluating the CDS after its first full year allows us to reflect on the scheme achievements and also identify the challenges encountered. Together we can identify opportunities for continuous improvement strategies. This panel will give attendees an insight into the processes involved in the implementation, assessment and management of the CDS,” said Ms Prince.
Waste Expo Australia Exhibition Manager Sherri Pearson is thrilled to be bringing the expo back for another year. Between the exhibition, conference and networking event, Ms Pearson says there is something for everyone.
“Maintaining the reputation of excellence from previous Waste Expo Australia conferences, we are very fortunate to be joined this year by some fantastic speakers and industry leaders in the waste management sector. We are proud to provide a platform from which people can gain industry insights through case studies and panels.”
“Through the Expo, we hope to encourage thought leadership and progress within the sector while also offering a sourcing platform for business and operational needs, and peer-to-peer networking,” says Ms Pearson.
The conference, trade exhibition, and networking function are free to attend, and registration is open now. Register to attend and view the full conference program at wasteexpoaustralia.com.au.
