Vision and Guiding Principles

Our Vision

The Waste Management and Resource Recovery Association of Australia (WMRR) is the peak body that leads the success of the waste management and resource recovery sector.

Guiding Principles

  1. Circular economy principles and the waste management hierarchy are consistently adopted and pursued nationally across the supply chain to ensure nationally consistent strong policy settings, and well designed, safe, and appropriate use of materials, including managing carbon impacts. 
  2. Waste and resource recovery (WARR) infrastructure is professionally managed and strategically planned, supported, and protected to reflect its role as both an essential community service and an economically viable producer of high value secondary raw materials for use across the productive Australian economy. 
  3. The WARR industry’s engagement with the entire supply chain, the community and government are always evidence-led, informed, professional and responsible.
