This new, one-day professional program, developed by WMRR in partnership with Blue Environment, has been designed to build essential knowledge across Australia’s waste and resource recovery (WARR) sector. 

This practical and engaging training has been developed to align with WMRR’s systems-based vision for the our industry. It provides a clear and accessible introduction to:

• Core circular economy principles
• The waste management hierarchy
• How supply chains and procurement decisions influence material outcomes
• The role of product design, material choices, and recycled content in reducing reliance on virgin resources and lowering emissions
• The policy, regulatory, and legislative landscape across all three levels of government

This course is ideal for:

• New entrants to the WARR sector
• Professionals engaging with the industry
• Anyone seeking a clearer, consistent understanding of how the system works

By combining foundational theory with practical, real-world examples, participants will:

• Develop a shared language and understanding of the sector
• Build confidence navigating regulatory and policy frameworks
• Gain insights to support the transition to a circular, resource-efficient economy
• Understand how industry practices contribute to net zero outcomes

Participants will also receive supporting materials, including presentation content and training resources.

This pilot marks an exciting step in strengthening industry capability and supporting a more consistent, informed approach across the sector.
