Australia is facing a waste crisis and government and industry are promoting the Circular Economy as a solution. This project investigates innovative cultural and economic practices in three waste streams: single use plastics, organics and bulky household waste, to understand how they realise or redraw the circle. The project develops empirical evidence to advance thinking about how novel waste economies are organised and the cultural and social innovations they generate. Outcomes include national and international case studies of innovative waste economies, social learning events with industry stakeholders and academic publications. Key benefits provide evidence of how different waste practices enable more sustainable ways of living.

澳大利亚正面临着废物危机，政府和工业界正在推动循环经济作为解决方案。该项目调查了三种废物流的创新文化和经济实践：一次性塑料，有机物和大型家庭废物，以了解他们如何实现或重新绘制循环。该项目开发了经验证据，以推进对如何组织新的废物经济及其产生的文化和社会创新的思考。成果包括创新废物经济的国家和国际案例研究、与行业利益攸关方的社会学习活动和学术出版物。关键效益提供了证据，证明不同的废物处理方法如何实现更可持续的生活方式。
