What is Waste Strategy Summit 2021?

Future proofing Australia’s waste management industry through innovation and collaboration

Waste Strategy Summit provides an annual meeting place where environmental / sustainability leaders, policymakers, stakeholders from private and public sectors, innovators, entrepreneurs and strategic thinkers come together to exchange ideas, collaborate on new projects and access the companies, technologies and strategies they need to improve their waste management.

The Waste Strategy Summit returns for its 4th year in 2021 to deliver connections and solutions that will positively impact public and private sector operations, environmental impact and CSR, as well as showing them how to seize the financial potential of waste management, recycling and resource recovery.
