National Waste Report 2022
The National Waste Report 2022 report:
provides data and information on Australia’s waste generation, recovery and fate for all waste streams and various material categories
analyses this information by state and territory and on a per capita basis
presents new data for FY 2020–2021, FY 2019-20 and updated data for earlier years.
This supersedes previous publications and means that the values in the 2022 report may differ from those published for that year in previous reports
Implements for the first time in a national report the Australian Standard for Waste and Resource Recovery Data and Reporting.
