Victoria's plan for a circular economy

For a sustainable and thriving future

Our circular economy plan, Recycling Victoria: A new economy, steps out the systemic change that’s needed to cut waste and boost recycling and reuse of our precious resources. This is our plan for a cleaner, greener Victoria with less waste and pollution, more jobs and a sustainable and thriving circular economy.

Key actions in our plan:

What are the benefits?

This systemic change will:

  • increase the quality and volume of recycling and reuse of our precious resources
  • reduce waste, landfill and litter
  • reduce emissions and contribute to Victoria’s net-zero emissions by 2050
  • create new jobs
  • build a sustainable and thriving circular economy for a cleaner, greener Victoria.
