With the commencement of Recycling Victoria on 1 July 2022, to strengthen Victoria’s waste and recycling sector, all Victorians can expect a better and more reliable waste and recycling system.
The establishment of Recycling Victoria is a major step that will support the state’s transition to a sustainable and thriving circular economy.
Recycling Victoria will increase the reliability and transparency of the waste and recycling sector and maximise the ongoing use of products and materials that would otherwise be waste.
Getting value from materials that would be waste will reduce landfill, greenhouse gas, and pollution and help to combat climate change.
The establishment of Recycling Victoria is a key initiative of the Victorian Government’s transformative circular economy plan - Recycling Victoria: a new economy.
