Join us for this webinar open to all stakeholders (but be mindful it does have a Victorian focus). Speakers include RSM Group Pty Ltd Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) Wastech Engineering and WorkSafe Victoria (and more).

We were thrilled to kick-off Waste Expo Australia 2024 with the official opening breakfast, featuring outstanding addresses and presentations from John Merritt, ANZ senior economist Catherine Birch, WorkSafe Victoria Director Major Hazards and Dangerous Goods Matthew Wielgosz, and Recycling Victoria head Tony Circelli. The speakers and panel discussion that followed provided the packed room with fantastic insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the #waste, #recycling and #recovery sector as the #circulareconomy gains momentum. We appreciated the support of Alex Townsend and Choice Energy for their generous sponsorship of the breakfast, and broader sector. The VWMA has a number of interesting events and webinars to see out the end of the year. Visit www.vwma.com.au for further information, or contact Executive Officer Mark Smith.
