There’s no sugarcoating it, Greater Sydney is on the brink of a waste crisis. Unless urgent action is taken our landfill space in NSW is expected to run out by 2030. I joined Minister for the Environment Penny Sharpe at the Circular Economy Summit where representatives from government, industry, environmental groups and regional organisations to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the NSW waste sector. Shifting to a circular economy requires a united approach, and that’s exactly what today’s Summit is about – bringing together key stakeholders to explore how we can accelerate this transition. As a state, we’re at a critical juncture. We must act now to ensure our infrastructure keeps pace with growing waste volumes, and to maximise recycling and recovery efforts. Through a mix of innovative projects, strategic investments, and collaboration, we can turn this challenge into an opportunity. By working together across government, industry and communities, we’re building a future where waste becomes a resource, not a burden. #Protecttomorrowtogether NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Penny Sharpe Gayle Sloan Evie Madden Rhys Reynolds Preet Brar
