The continued difference in approaches across states and territories in their application of the National Waste Policy Action Plan and connected areas of policy is of concern. Wide scale circular economy does not exist in one city, state, or even country; it’s achieved through interconnectedness, collaboration, and the commitment to make the best use of resources, whatever or wherever that involves. This kind of connectedness requires coordination and big picture thinking.
The Federal Government can provide this coordination by taking a leadership role in circular economy transition through the creation of a cross-portfolio Circular Economy Strategy.
