Our Zero Harm Rules – A safety commitment

Our Victorian Recycling Network

In the last two years, in VIC BINGO has invested more than $50 million in acquisitions and

committed an additional $50 million for upgrades of local waste management businesses and

poorly managed post-collections assets.

So, what needs to be done?

1. Increase Waste Disposal Levy

This will optimise the diversion of waste from landfill and promote the development of a truly circular economy.

✓ Will further encourage

recycling - by sending

the right market signals

to industry

✓ Helps fund the EPA –

so is better resourced to

regulate and enforce

compliance in the

industry

✓ Help provide targeted

grants to further

promote investment.

✓ Ensure that Victoria is

consistent with its

neighbouring states &

avoid waste coming

across borders

Increasing the Waste Disposal Levy will optimise the diversion of waste from landfill

and promote the development of a truly circular economy.

2. Create Demand for Recovered Materials

This is critical to establishing a sustainable recycling industry. The Government is able

to play a leading role in this area. There are plenty of projects to choose from:

Products such as

clean concrete,

brick and

concrete

aggregate, timber

& mulch are low

hanging fruit and

can quickly be

scaled up to help

close the loop and

improve overall

recovery rates in

Victoria.

3. Increase Collaboration in Supply Chain

• The last two decades has seen a significant expansion in the availability, quality and use of

recycled materials in construction projects, particularly in road pavements & led by VIC Roads.

• Where recycled material is supplied in accordance with the specification requirements, they

are considered as equivalent products to traditional quarry material.

• However, more can be done in sharing knowledge and collaborating in the supply chain.

4. Improve Reporting Integrity

• Green Star is a voluntary sustainability rating system for buildings in Australia and

since 2003 has done great things in promoting sustainability of projects.

• However, we believe this can be further enhanced by mandating third party auditing of

recovery rates to improve confidence and integrity of the reporting system.

✓ Recovery rates independently

verified by a third party

✓ Enhance transparency within

the industry

✓ Lift the standards of waste

reporting.

5. Promote Energy from Waste• There will always be residual waste material that cannot be recycled economically, but this

contains energy that can be captured and used productively.

• The benefits of waste-to-energy include; a net reduction in greenhouse gases, increased

resource savings, improved diversion from landfill and power generation to support

intermittent renewable energy sources.

• Australia is already behind other leading countries in terms of EfW processing.

Providing emissions standards, environmental and safety requirements are achieved, best

available technology is used, and the process does not cannibalise recycling activities, the

Government should remain technology-agnostic.
