Recycling Victoria aims to strengthen the state’s waste and recycling sector, driving innovation and industry security, helping circular economies to thrive, and supporting the introduction of the new container deposit scheme.

The new entity will oversee new standards, regulations and reporting in the waste and recycling sector, to build community confidence and encourage businesses to innovate, invest and grow Victoria’s circular economy.

Recycling Victoria will work with councils, industry, regional communities and traditional owners to create a better and more reliable waste and recycling system, reduce landfill waste, improve resource recovery, and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
