Tasmania is buzzing with activity and on the verge of of significant changes and opportunities, from the impending container refund scheme to the waste levy, the roll-out of the COAG waste export bans, and significant federal and state funding on the table.  This forum will bring together local and national industry experts to debate and discuss lessons learned from other states, and how to use these to create opportunities and drive the best outcome for Tasmania.  The program will cover four key topics, including an industry update, waste levy, CRS and other opportunities for Tasmania (plastics, FOGO and more).
