Who attends
What you are responsible for.
The Waste & Resource Recovery Expo is built for the people who plan, regulate, fund, build and operate NSW’s waste and resource recovery systems. Under WaSM 2041, NSW has adopted targets to "have an 80% average recovery rate from all waste streams by 2030" and to "halve the amount of organic waste sent to landfill by 2030". Find your own work in the six groups below.
