The 2024 Waste Expo Australia event is around the corner, with over 100 industry leaders and speakers set to share insights and encourage discussion around waste and sustainability topics.

The two-day event runs from 23–24 October at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. The expo brings together leaders in waste, recycling, resource recovery and sustainability, providing a platform for discussion and collaboration.

The conference schedule includes an extensive program of industry speakers covering four key streams: Government & Policy; Circular Economy; Construction and Demolition & Commercial and Industrial (CD&CI); and Waste to Energy & Case Studies.

It will feature over 100 speakers across 60 sessions, including TOMRA Cleanaway CEO James Dorney, ALOA Chairman Daniel Fyfe and Return It CEO Marc Churchin.

Over 3000 attendees are expected, including representatives from waste services, landfill, government, consultancy and material recovery facilities.

Waste Expo Australia provides an important opportunity to collaborate with and hear from industry-leading experts across the waste and resource recovery value chain.

Waste Expo Australia Exhibition Manager Sherri Pearson is thrilled to be bringing the expo back for another year. Between the exhibition, conference and networking event, Pearson said there is something for everyone.

“Maintaining the reputation of excellence from previous Waste Expo Australia conferences, we are very fortunate to be joined this year by some fantastic speakers and industry leaders in the waste management sector. We are proud to provide a platform from which people can gain industry insights through case studies and panels.”

“Through the Expo, we hope to encourage thought leadership and progress within the sector while also offering a sourcing platform for business and operational needs, and peer-to-peer networking,” Pearson said.

The conference, trade exhibition and networking function are free to attend, and registration is open now.

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

The Australian Government is starting consultation on sustainable investment product labelling, which is designed to give investors more confidence to put more capital to work in sustainable products.

The federal government said the release of this paper is a key step in implementing its Sustainable Finance Roadmap — designed to help mobilise the capital required for Australia to become a renewable energy superpower, modernising the financial markets and maximising the economic opportunities from net zero.

This consultation paper seeks views from investors, companies and the broader community on a framework for sustainable investment product labels.

These labels are designed to help investors and consumers identify, compare and make informed decisions about sustainable investment products to understand what ‘sustainable’, ‘green’ or similar words mean when they’re applied to financial products.

The government said a more robust and clear product-labelling framework will help investors and consumers invest in sustainable products with confidence and help tackle greenwashing.

This phase of consultation will run from 18 July to 29 August and help the government refine its design principles for the framework.

The consultation paper is available on the Treasury consultation hub.
