The National Waste and Recycling Industry Council (NWRIC), with assistance of MRA Consulting, has been funded by the DAWE to develop national recycled material specifications for material recycling facilities (including sorting, primary and secondary processors).
Specifications for plastics, paper, glass, metals, and organics coming through the Municipal Solid Waste collection stream will be developed in consultation with end users (e.g., manufacturers, construction, farmers) and the recycling sector (sorters and processors).
This is one of three projects being led by the Department to drive greater resource recovery and increase the use of recovered materials. The other two projects being the development of a national accreditation or certification scheme for Australian recyclers led by ACOR and the harmonisation of state kerbside recycling collections being led by DAWE in collaboration with state and territory governments.
