The Goals of WA Waste Strategy 2030
The Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030 sets clear, measurable goals to reduce waste and improve sustainability across WA. The strategy revolves around three core objectives:
1. Avoid Waste Generation: Encourage individuals, businesses, and governments to reduce the amount of waste produced by adopting sustainable consumption habits.
2. Recover More Resources: Increase the recycling and reuse of materials to reduce landfill dependency. This includes textiles, which are often overlooked in waste recovery efforts.
3. Protect the Environment: Reduce the environmental impact of waste by improving resource recovery and transitioning to a circular economy.
These objectives set the foundation for WA to lead the way in tackling textile waste and embracing innovative recycling solutions.
