Key Points

• Australia targets 80% resource recovery and a 50% reduction of organic waste to landfill by 2030, supported by government funding and policies like the Recycling Modernisation Fund.
• Reduce, reuse, compost, sort waste correctly, recycle electronics and chemicals at community centres, and buy second-hand to reduce waste and promote sustainability.
