SUMMARY:Industry Forum: Lithium Battery Management & Risk
DESCRIPTION:As lithium-ion battery use accelerates across households\, businesses and industry\, so too do the safety\, regulatory and operational challenges facing Queensland’s waste and resource recovery sector. This dedicated afternoon forum will bring industry leaders\, operators\, policymakers and safety specialists together for a focused discussion on lithium battery management — from prevention and risk mitigation through to recovery\, regulation and future solutions. \nDesigned to move beyond awareness and toward coordinated\, practical solutions that protect workers\, infrastructure and the broader community\, the forum will feature expert speakers\, facilitated discussion and structured industry brainstorming to identify practical actions and priority areas for 2026 and beyond. The goal is simple: reduce risk\, improve recovery outcomes\, and strengthen collaboration across the supply chain. \nKey areas of industry focus may include: \n\nFire prevention and site safety improvements\nCollection and segregation best practice\nCommunity education and behaviour change\nProducer responsibility and stewardship reform\nInsurance impacts and risk allocation\nRegulatory settings and compliance challenges\nTechnology and infrastructure investment\nData gaps and incident reporting consistency\nCross-sector collaboration between councils\, operators and manufacturers\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FURTHER DETAILS TO COME SOON
