Recycling Victoria

This month marks the first year anniversary of Victoria's Container Deposit Scheme. A lot of my hard-working colleagues at Recycling Victoria - together with network operators and others - have worked very hard over the past 12 months to make this scheme a success. Pictures below are me dropping off a years worth of bottles and cans at the Envirobank drop off centre in Rowville and earning a cool $24 for my efforts.

Recycling Victoria is pleased to release the inaugural Victorian Recycling Infrastructure Plan (VRIP). The VRIP provides investors in the Victorian #circulareconomy with a road map to guide decision-making on waste, recycling, and resource recovery infrastructure over the next 30 years. It is an essential resource, providing insight into potential investment opportunities, including: · infrastructure needs analysis that considers capacity and capability · place-based assessments for each material stream · residual waste and waste to energy · regional opportunities · land use planning. Recycling Victoria has also produced the Waste, Recycling and Resource Recovery Investment Prospectus that highlights investment opportunities and supports. It has been developed in partnership with government agencies who facilitate Victorian business growth.
