Issues paper - Waste not, want not: Valuing waste as a resource

Research and analysis
Consultation to inform development of a legislative framework for waste-derived materials.
Last updated:

We are progressing a range of legislative reforms to meet the objectives of the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030 (Waste Strategy 2030), including to improve the waste management and waste levy legislative framework in Western Australia.

This issues paper relates to the Waste Strategy 2030’s objective to encourage the use of waste-derived materials, including by developing product specifications for them, to build confidence in recycled products, increase demand for them and develop relevant markets while protecting the environment.
