Energy from waste (EfW) facilities are gaining traction in Australia due to landfill reduction policies and resource recovery goals. These facilities convert non-recyclable residual materials into energy, such as electricity, heat, or transport fuels, contributing to energy security while reducing methane emissions from landfill.

Key highlights from Sphere’s presentation, in partnership with Beatty Hughes & Associates, titled ‘The waste infrastructure landscape: How do we remove the roadblocks and get what we need?’

With the launch of a new year year Sphere is looking a little different. After almost four years the Sphere team has refreshed the firm's brand identity.

More resource recovery and recycling infrastructure is urgently required in Australia to achieve emissions reduction and landfill avoidance targets. There are multiple parties ready, willing and able to provide the technical solutions and fund the projects. So what is missing?

The waste industry has received significant attention in recent years partly due to constraints on domestic waste infrastructure. As the Australian population grows, and communities seek more sustainable methods to manage their waste, the demand for waste infrastructure is high

In early November 2019, Commonwealth, state and territory Environment Ministers (through the Council of Australian Governments (COAG)) agreed that certain waste plastic, paper, glass and tyre waste should be banned from export from Australia.
