The Report to End All Reports
Recently released “Blue Environment
Report” has twenty two recommendations to put an end to Tasmania’s ongoing
waste management debate.
Prepared for the Waste Advisory
Council, the State Government and local Councils, this final report ignores the
interests of big business in favour of practical suggestions for dealing with
the waste we are all responsible for creating.
Overriding all recommendations is the
message that Tasmania needs to move into the 21st century of waste
management by placing a strong focus on ‘Reducing, Reusing and Recycling’.
By doing so, it foresees more Tasmanian
jobs being created within a new and exciting industry.
“The last two years, of the waste
management debate has been a learning process. Moving controlled waste from one place to another
does not solve a problem it creates another,” said Andrew Ranson, President SBCS.
“This Blue Environment Report details
key recommendations that can be adopted by those responsible for our waste
management. Recommendations that create jobs and benefit our environment rather
than deplete it.”
“It’s a win-win situation.”
