To invest their time in separating bottles, papers and other recyclables, Victorians need confidence that these materials are properly recycled. Sustainability Victoria (SV) estimates that Victorians recovered 67 per cent of the 12.9 million tonnes for recycling and sent the remaining 33 per cent to landfill.Ĭommunity participation in the recycling process is a vital part of the state’s waste system. Metropolitan Melbourne accounted for around 80 per cent of this. She said there was no viable destruction method in Australia, meaning the only alternative was continued long-term storage at Botany which was “unsatisfactory.In 2016–17, Victorians generated and managed nearly 12.9 million tonnes of waste. “We believe the current application provides an appropriate solution for the ultimate destruction of the HCB and will ensure that this legacy is not left for future generations to address.” Kirsten Gray, Orica group executive for corporate services, said: “Orica is focused on finding a safe, permanent and environmentally sound solution to the HCB stockpile at Botany. Under the Stockholm Convention ‒ which Australia is a party to ‒ waste containing these levels of Persistent Organic Pollutants must be destroyed, the Department of Environment and Energy spokesman added. The Federal Government can only issue a permit after being satisfied the application met relevant legal requirements including that it would be transported and destroyed in a way that was “safe for human health and the environment”. Greenpeace activists scaled security fences at Orica's plant in Botany in 2010 to label and lock down highly toxic HCB waste which it hoped to ship to Denmark. ![]()
