Victoria’s waste projection model estimates waste generation in Victoria to 2053. The purpose of the model is to inform investment, planning and market needs for government and industry.
Victoria’s waste projection model combines data from a range of sources to produce an 'actuals' dataset. The actuals describe waste generation and its fate within Victoria from 2015–16 to 2022–23.
The data sources used to compile the actuals dataset include:
- Victorian Recycling Industry Annual Survey
- Australian Bureau of Statistics export data
- National Plastics Survey data
- Environment Protection Authority Victoria Landfill Levy statement data
- Landfill composition audit data.
The model combines the above datasets, uses a bespoke method to inform the starting value, and applies material type-specific projection factors (low, mid and high) to produce a baseline projection to the year 2053. The result of this projection is presented in the above dashboard.
