University of Southern Queensland, RMIT University and The University of Melbourne organized fourth workshop on waste management and recycling in Brisbane, Australia.
The workshop included an overview of the existing and potential solutions, provide an opportunity to hear from the recycling industry and researchers and will offer a fantastic networking opportunity to learn from other council colleagues.
The workshop aimed to pave the way for you to actively participate towards the development of a research program being compiled by the two Universities for submission for funding from the Australian Research Council and other sources to address the major needs of local councils.
The research program will be developed in collaboration with the local councils, recycling industry, materials and product manufacturers and the state government.

The research program will be developed in collaboration with the local councils, recycling industry, materials and product manufacturers and the state government. The support needed from the local councils in the form of access to information, identification of waste streams, sites for field trials of recycled products, trials of novel technologies and a cash contribution towards research program development will also be discussed.

Recycling waste materials in construction has been a focus of a number of research projects conducted at RMIT, The University of Melbourne, Monash University and the ARC Nanocomm Hub. Most of these are sponsored by industry sectors which generate large amounts of waste. There are significant benefits that can be realised by translation of the technologies to practice and also the methods developed can be used to convert other waste materials to useful products.
This workshop was aiming to achieve two main objectives:
