Consultation Responses

The main elements of the new National Waste Strategy are to:

• incentivise efforts to reduce, re-use, recycle waste and recover energy from waste;
• reform regulation to drive the reduction of waste and diversion from landfill while reducing costs to compliant businesses and the regulator;
• target action on materials, products and sectors with the greatest scope for improving environmental and economic outcomes;
• stimulate investment in collection, recycling and recovery infrastructure, and markets for recovered materials that will maximise the value of materials and energy recovered; and
• improve national, regional and local governance, with a clearer performance and institutional framework to deliver better coordinated action and services on the ground.
