South Australia’s proposed Waste Strategy for 2015 - 2020
South Australians have high expectations that our environment will be sustained for future generations.
Since the State’s first Waste Strategy was released over 10 years ago, South Australians have demonstrated an enormous commitment to the environment, waste reduction and recycling. As a result, our recycling rates are amongst the world’s best. However, if we are truly serious about creating a sustainable environment for future generations, we must now turn to more complex problems.

However, if we are truly serious about creating a sustainable environment for future generations, we must now turn to more complex problems.
We need to reduce the waste we generate. While we have become better at disposing of and reusing our waste, we continue to generate too much of it. We must also continue to identify innovative solutions and new responses to waste management, and to more efficiently manage our scarce resources.
Have your say now
Zero Waste SA invites you to comment on the draft of South Australia’s third Waste Strategy for 2015–2020.
Zero Waste SA has a statutory requirement to develop a waste strategy for South Australia. Section 18 (4) of the Zero Waste SA Act 2004 requires Zero Waste SA to gather views and submissions and to take these into consideration before developing and adopting a waste strategy for South Australia. This draft waste strategy establishes waste reduction goals and targets for South Australia and sets out a range of strategies and steps to achieve these goals and targets. Comments from State and Local Government agencies, the waste management industry, businesses and the community will help Zero Waste SA to develop the waste strategy further and provide guidance for the way in which waste is managed in South Australia.
