Meeting our Future Waste Management Challenges
Sources: Victoria. Minister for Environment and Climate Change. Media Release
"The Brumby Government released the Metropolitan Waste and Resource Strategic Plan, setting the future direction for Melbourne’s waste management. Environment and Climate Change Minister Gavin Jennings said the Metropolitan Waste and Resource Strategic Plan provides the basis for the Victorian and Local Governments to work together to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and pursue new waste technologies which can turn household waste into renewable energy and products like compost. “The plan examines Melbourne’s waste and resource recovery needs for the next two decades and beyond, and has identified municipal waste, particularly food and garden waste, as priorities if we are to meet our Towards Zero Waste Strategy targets,” Mr Jennings said."
