The National Circular Economy Roadmap suggested the key strategy for creating jobs and reclaiming billions in economic value could come form plastic, glass and tyres currently going into landfill. The CSIRO said innovation in this space is crucial to realising Australia’s largest economic gains, which will come from designing new products and materials, including through advanced manufacturing, and in embracing new business models that will create domestic and export markets for waste streams.
