Victorian Government’s circular economy discussion paper

RMIT University sustainability experts comment on Victorian Government’s circular economy discussion paper.

Experts warn a major opportunity to improve sustainability in Victoria is being missed by focusing exclusively on patching up recycling systems, while failing to address more fundamental issues. In a submission just made to the Victoria Government’s circular economy discussion paper, Professor Usha Iyer-Raniga and fellow RMIT University sustainability experts highlighted several ways they say it had “missed the point” and explored the important role SDGs can play in this context. A circular economy is one aimed at reducing the environmental impacts of production and consumption and gaining more productive use from natural resources.
