Full Description:: The workshop is part of the Wealth from Waste Cluster (http://wealthfromwaste.net), a three-year research program that focuses on ‘mining’ above ground resources, which are the metals contained in collections of discarded manufactured products and consumer goods.

This free interactive workshop will see policy, industry and research practitioners discuss key issues for the recycling, re-use and recovery of metals within a Queensland and Australian context. You can contribute to the thought leadership shaping this national research agenda that will benefit industry, business and the community by participating in this workshop.

The workshop objectives are:

• Outlining the current thinking from the Wealth from Waste Cluster in progressing industrial ecology concepts in Australia
• Seeking input from engaged stakeholders on the future drivers to bring about higher levels of metals and minerals recycling, re-use and recovery
• Setting the goals and supporting frameworks to achieve a transformational change in the Australian recycling industry
