Australia’s waste industry is in need of significant change, according to experts who say the industry has been struggling under China’s ban imposed at the start of the year.
Experts say the waste industry has already reached a crisis point just several months into the ban, with stakeholders wanting immediate action.
The industry is calling for assistance to help it transition to a so-called 'circular economy' where waste would be collected, processed and then reused to make new products here in Australia.
