If, on the other hand, you want to learn more about the Forum's own studies, then follow this link to the folder of your choice.

• Report on the alternative waste management technologies and practices inquiry - April 2000 (0.7MB)

This Australian study presents the outcomes of the Waste Inquiry. It comprises a review of conventional and emerging waste technologies and the management practices that drive the logistics and transformation of discarded materials to beneficial resources.

In accordance with the Terms of Reference, the review has been framed on an ecologically sustainable development basis, emphasising economic, social and environmental dimensions. Technology viability also is a critical consideration. The intent of the Government in establishing the Waste Inquiry was to inform decisions about future waste management infrastructure and practices in New South Wales.

The Report will also provide input to a planned strategic policy review of the Waste Minimisation and Management Act (1995) scheduled to commence later this year.
