Which priorities need to come first? What infrastructure do we actually need\, where should it go and who should drive investment? Why aren’t households recycling more? What needs to happen to make recycling commercially viable? And where do government\, councils and industry need to do things differently? \nThe program will examine the realities of delivering a better recycling system across a state as large and diverse as Queensland. It will explore infrastructure capacity and planning\, the different challenges facing metropolitan and regional communities\, household participation and contamination\, viable markets for recycled materials\, procurement\, product stewardship\, investment and the economics of recycling. \nRather than simply identifying the issues\, FWR 2027 will focus on what is working\, where the challenges remain and where greater progress is needed. Practical case studies and rapid-fire presentations will sit alongside robust panel discussions\, with speakers and participants encouraged to test assumptions\, challenge current approaches and share lessons from Queensland and elsewhere. \nFWR 2027 will bring these discussions together to identify practical solutions\, explore where action is needed and help move the conversation from strategy towards delivery. \n \n Click Here to go to the FWR website URL:https://www.wriq.au/event/future-waste-resources-symposium-2027/ LOCATION:The Westin Brisbane\, 111 Mary St\, Brisbane City\, QLD\, 4000\, Australia CATEGORIES:2027,WRIQ Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wriq.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/FWR27_Header.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="WRIQ":MAILTO:events@wriq.com.au END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20270729T090000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20270730T163000 DTSTAMP:20260604T091454Z CREATED:20260604T091454Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260604T091454Z UID:2295-1816851600-1816965000@www.wriq.au SUMMARY:LOOP: The Resource Recovery & Circular Economy Expo DESCRIPTION:LOOP Queensland 2027 – The Resource Recovery & Circular Economy Expo has been established as a dedicated industry platform bringing together government\, infrastructure planners\, waste and recycling operators\, technology providers and environmental service organisations to explore practical solutions for the decade ahead. \nThe sector is rapidly shifting from a traditional waste management model to one focused on recycling\, circular supply chains and long-term economic value.
