Zero Waste SA is recognised for its leadership in recycling and resource management. Through collaboration, education, advocacy and financial incentives, Zero Waste SA is stimulating innovative practices to drive resource efficiency and help South Australians meet South Australia's Strategic Plan target to 'reduce waste to landfill by 35% by 2020'.
... that provides a detailed direction for 2011 to 2015. We produce and consume a lot of things to improve our lives, but they don’t always improve the environment.
...identifying many targets and goals. At the heart of the strategy are two key objectives: to avoid or reduce the amount of overall waste; and to maximise the useful life of materials.
...that are broken down into different waste streams. Municipal Solid Waste covers material from household waste collected at the kerbside. Hazardous Waste includes things like oil, paints, batteries, fungicides and pesticides.
... in stages. This will help us to see how certain things perform over the next five years. The key targets are: Household waste: 70% diversion by 2015; Commercial & industrial waste: 75% diversion by 2014; Construction and demolition waste: 90% diversion by 2015.
..., encouraging & enabling waste management reforms. There’ll be financial incentives to help fund new technology, infrastructure and programs. Education will help people understand how they can play a role.
