The Waste and Sustainable Materials Strategy 2041 and the NSW Plastics Action Plan have now been released and are available on the DPIE website.
In August 2019, the Minister wrote to a number of stakeholders (PDF 226KB) to seek input on the NSW waste system to inform the development of a 20-Year Waste Strategy.
We received 105 submissions in response to the Minister’s letter. These submissions are published below with the consent of the stakeholders who submitted them.
