Waste Expo Australia 2025 returns to Melbourne, providing councils, government agencies, and industry leaders with a crucial platform to explore the future of resource recovery, recycling, and sustainable infrastructure.
As Australia moves closer to a circular economy, the event will be key for those at the forefront of environmental change.
This year, the Government Lounge will once again feature Sustainability Victoria, Recycling Victoria, and Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Victoria. These government bodies will share valuable insights into the latest strategies and initiatives advancing sustainability and circular economy practices in Victoria. With a focus on collaboration, the Government Lounge will be a hub for discussions and insights into the future of waste management and sustainability for the state.
Recycling Victoria exists to ensure Victorians have access to reliable waste, recycling, and resource recovery services.
“Our focus is on building resilience in the sector, to increase market investment and growth and a more sustainable future for Victoria,” said Tony Circelli, Head, Recycling Victoria.
“We will be using the Waste Expo Government Lounge as a platform to discuss our areas of focus from market data and intelligence, infrastructure planning, and the Waste to Energy Scheme, to our approach to risk-based, outcomes-focused regulation and compliance.”
A major highlight of Waste Expo Australia 2025 is the partnership with ecologiQ’s Greener Infrastructure Conference. ecologiQ is driving the reuse, recycling and repurposing of waste materials on road and rail infrastructure across Victoria, delivering successful projects and circular outcomes.
Sherri Pearson, Exhibition Manager, Waste Expo Australia, said the partnership between Waste Expo Australia and ecologiQ bridges the gap between resource recovery and sustainable infrastructure, fostering collaboration and driving innovation across both sectors.
“Local governments play a crucial role in waste management and achieving national waste targets by providing essential services, managing infrastructure and promoting community awareness and engagement,” Pearson said.
“With the ongoing drive for sustainability at the forefront of local and national policies, Waste Expo Australia 2025 is the perfect opportunity for councils, government agencies, and industry professionals to connect, learn, and drive meaningful change.”
