The Wealth from Waste cluster has launched the report ‘Australian Opportunities in a Circular Economy for Metals: Findings of the Wealth from Waste Cluster’. This report draws together the key findings from the five universities, highlighting the significant local and global opportunities for a circular economy for metals in Australia. The research highlights the key resource data, technological innovations, novel business models, and policy change needed to help overcome the barriers to a future circular economy and charts a pathway forward for industry, government and researchers. The report was launched at the Powering the change to a circular economy conference in Adelaide on November 16 and is now available to download here.
"We are seeing products, supply chains and business models being redesigned in forward-thinking international centres to exploit the vast value in recycling metals reclaimed in waste."- Ass Prof. Damien Giurco (Research Director, Institute for Sustainable Futures, UTS).
