WMRR’s Strategic Business Plan sets out the Association’s vision to be Australia’s leading national peak body for the waste and resource recovery (WARR) industry and its mission to advocate for a systems-based approach to managing materials throughout their lifecycle.
The Plan positions the WARR industry as an essential service and a key enabler of Australia’s transition to a circular economy, recognising its role in creating jobs, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving resource efficiency and supporting economic growth. It commits WMRR to championing the waste management hierarchy, evidence-based policy and collaboration across governments, industry and the broader supply chain to maximise the value of recovered resources.
To deliver these outcomes, the Strategic Business Plan outlines a program of national and state-based initiatives that strengthen WMRR’s advocacy, industry leadership and member services. National priorities include driving policy reform, improving sustainable procurement, developing a knowledge hub, expanding professional development and accreditation, delivering conferences and networking opportunities, and increasing industry engagement through evidence-based publications and training.
State and territory initiatives complement these national priorities by addressing jurisdiction-specific policy reforms, infrastructure planning, education, procurement, organics processing, levy reform and market development, ensuring WMRR delivers coordinated advocacy while responding to the unique needs of members across Australia.
