O governo australiano informa que trinta e cinco mega toneladas de material foram recicladas na Austrália em 2016, representando 1.472 kg per capita e 60% de todos resíduos gerados na Austrália. 1 Segundo a Statista, apenas a Áustria e a Alemanha têm taxas de reciclagem mais elevadas, respectivamente 63% e 62%. 2 desperdício material reciclado parece estar crescendo ano a ano.

A reciclagem na Austrália é principalmente uma atividade liderada pelo setor privado. A maioria dos serviços de reciclagem é fornecida pelo setor privado sob contrato em nome dos governos locais. Alguns fornecem reciclagem com base em taxas para as famílias e a indústria. Os contratos de serviços de reciclagem são concedidos por períodos de até dez anos.3

Reciclagem nas grandes cidades

Em grandes cidades como Sydney, as autoridades da cidade organizam programas de reciclagem para residentes, incluindo plástico , vidro , latas, garrafas e caixas de papelão, bem como papel e papelão. No entanto, certos itens não podem ser reciclados, incluindo sacos de plástico , poliestireno, vidro e fraldas. Existe um programa especializado chamado REDcycle para sacos de plástico e embalagens, incluindo pacotes de biscoito, sacolas de compras, sacos de pão, sacos de arroz, sacos de alimentos congelados. O objetivo da cidade de Sydney é desperdício Zero.4

Produtos químicos indesejados e tóxico resíduos também podem ser descartados com segurança sob os programas E-waste e Chemical Cleanout executados pela Environmental Protection Authority. 5 Itens como tintas, pesticidas, produtos químicos, aerossóis e computadores antigos podem ser levados para Química Limpe eventos em toda a cidade periodicamente. Baterias, celulares antigos e lâmpadas podem ser deixados em centros de atendimento ao cliente e bibliotecas. Esses programas foram criados para evitar que produtos químicos tóxicos acabem nos aterros sanitários e se infiltrem no solo para contaminar o lençol freático.

… E no campo

As indústrias rurais têm menos sucesso com a reciclagem, devido ao alto custo de logística e coleta. Por exemplo, especialistas do setor descreveram uma “situação insustentável” reciclagem de vidro , que não tem para onde ir. Acontece que a viabilidade de Reciclagem de vidro nas áreas rurais é marginal e é mais econômico para as empresas de reciclagem apenas despejar o vidro em um aterro. Um gerente da usina de reciclagem Polytrade, observando a proliferação de aterros de vidro, afirmou: “Estamos de volta à idade das trevas e não sabemos o que fazer. Estamos recebendo mais e mais vidro sem ter para onde ir. ” 6

Com as empresas de reciclagem presas em contratos de longo prazo com os conselhos locais e a atual queda nos preços das commodities no setor, isso criou uma situação em que centenas de milhares de toneladas de material reciclável se acumulam. Um recente surto de incêndio em uma instalação de reciclagem destacou os perigos dessa prática. 7

Sucesso relatado por mim

A indústria é bem sucedida ou não? É difícil fornecer uma medida definitiva. O desperdício dos resultados e tendências da gestão varia significativamente nos estados e territórios, mas geralmente o governo australiano está relatando positivamente os resultados da indústria de reciclagem. Eles observam que mesmo as taxas mais baixas de recuperação estão, na verdade, melhorando mais rapidamente. Todos os anos, mais municipal resíduos são reciclados em vez de despejados, e isso é uma conquista. Mesmo difícil de reciclar materiais como resíduos de metais, produtos orgânicos e plásticos parecem estar reduzindo em uma base per capita. No entanto, os volumes de material que ainda estão no aterro ou em centros de reciclagem, considerados pouco rentáveis ​​para reciclar, são significativos.

Desafios Globais

Apesar dos resultados positivos, a Austrália enfrenta desafios, alguns dos quais são o resultado de tendências globais. Por exemplo, resíduos de plástico. Como um país cercado por oceanos, o volume que acaba nos oceanos é alarmante. Estima-se que, até 2050, o peso dos plásticos nos oceanos será igual ao dos peixes. 8

Na Austrália, mais de 1,5 tonelada métrica de derivado de petróleo bruto é consumida a cada ano, e isso não está contando o importado plástico produtos e embalagens. 9 ; No entanto, apenas 300.000 toneladas de plásticos são coletados para reciclagem a cada ano. Cerca de metade do plástico reciclado, ou 150.000 toneladas, é enviado para o exterior para processamento. Vinte por cento do material é reprocessado na Austrália em pellets para serem transformados em novos produtos no exterior. 10 [/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_3″ layout=”1_3″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”0px” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_progress height=”40″ text_position=”” show_percentage=”no” unit=”” percentage=”15″ filledcolor=”#fe717e” filledbordersize=”” filledbordercolor=”” unfilledcolor=”” striped=”no” animated_stripes=”no” textcolor=”#333333″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]1.5 metric tons [/fusion_progress][fusion_separator style_type=”none” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”” top_margin=”7px” bottom_margin=”” border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_progress height=”40″ text_position=”” show_percentage=”no” unit=”” percentage=”30″ filledcolor=”#5bb45a” filledbordersize=”” filledbordercolor=”” unfilledcolor=”” striped=”no” animated_stripes=”no” textcolor=”#333333″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]300,000 tons[/fusion_progress][fusion_separator style_type=”none” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”” top_margin=”7px” bottom_margin=”” border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_progress height=”40″ text_position=”” show_percentage=”no” unit=”” percentage=”15″ filledcolor=”#1fbed6″ filledbordersize=”” filledbordercolor=”” unfilledcolor=”” striped=”no” animated_stripes=”no” textcolor=”#333333″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]150,000 tons[/fusion_progress][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]

O programa REDcycle tentou resolver esse problema estabelecendo um mecanismo de coleta separado para embalagens plásticas macias, porque esse tipo de material é difícil de reciclar a menos que seja separado dos outros plásticos. O programa cresceu em mais de 600 estações de coleta, principalmente em torno de supermercados, em todo o país. Uma empresa privada de reciclagem, a Replas, está no mercado há três décadas, transformando plásticos macios como embalagens de leite e frascos de shampoo em equipamentos de plástico para brincar, decks e postes de amarração. No entanto, os consumidores não estão exigindo esses produtos reciclados tanto quanto resíduos material para processar.12

O outlook

Alguns participantes do setor não estão muito otimistas quanto às perspectivas para a indústria de reciclagem na Austrália. Mark Jacobsen, diretor de marketing da Replas, uma empresa de reciclagem, afirma: “A reciclagem na Austrália está morta na água, a menos que as pessoas estejam dispostas a comprar produtos reciclados feitos de seus próprios resíduos.” 13 [/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column_inner][fusion_builder_column_inner type=”2_3″ layout=”2_3″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” hover_type=”none” link=”” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”0px” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no” border_position=”all”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]

No entanto, há outros que estão aumentando os investimentos em reciclagem, abordando os resíduos de plástico de forma mais agressiva. 14 Por exemplo, a Range International recupera recursos não classificados plástico resíduos de aterros indonésios e transforma a água em paletes de transporte. A empresa escolheu reciclado plástico porque atualmente a indústria naval mundial consome 40% da oferta mundial de madeira na produção de paletes. Para cada 25 paletes RePal compradas, uma árvore é salva de ser derrubada. 15

A lição nesses exemplos é que a única maneira sustentável de materiais antieconômicos, como plásticos e vidro, tornarem-se parte de uma economia circular – em vez da linear – é reintroduzir materiais reciclados de volta à economia real. Cabe a uma nova geração de players da indústria de reciclagem implementar essas ideias.

Defensores da reciclagem

Como a reciclagem é uma atividade do setor privado, liderada por empresas em nome das comunidades locais, as empresas privadas também são as maiores defensoras da reciclagem. No entanto, existem algumas instituições e associações públicas que estão ajudando a pressionar por soluções de reciclagem mais sustentáveis ​​a serem introduzidas.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_3″ layout=”1_3″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_counters_circle animation_offset=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””][fusion_counter_circle value=”70″ filledcolor=”#fe717e” unfilledcolor=”” size=”220″ scales=”no” countdown=”yes” speed=”1500″]70[/fusion_counter_circle][/fusion_counters_circle][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]

O Conselho Australiano de Reciclagem (ACOR) representa cerca de 70 empresas na indústria de reciclagem na Austrália, e pressiona ativamente o governo a desenvolver políticas e programas que melhorem a reciclagem. A ACOR está atualmente defendendo mais investimentos em infraestrutura de reciclagem que possa reciclar materiais previamente exportados para a China e criar empregos locais. 16

A Waste Management Association of Australia também oferece a oportunidade para a indústria se conectar, trocar idéias e manter-se atualizada com os desenvolvimentos. Tem 1839 membros e organiza eventos em todo o país. 17

O Partido Verde Australiano é o partido político mais ecologicamente orientado no governo que ganha ganhos ano após ano desde que foi formado em 1992.

O partido defende os princípios ecológicos sobre a ideologia neoliberal e é dedicado a quatro valores: sustentabilidade ecológica, justiça social, democracia de base e paz e não-violência.

No momento da publicação, o partido tinha um representante na Câmara e nove no Senado da Austrália, 23 representantes eleitos. nos parlamentos estaduais e territoriais, 100 conselheiros locais e cerca de 15.000 membros registrados . 20 Como nos resultados de reciclagem, os Verdes são mais populares em as áreas urbanas, com o apoio mais forte em lugares no centro da cidade como Melbourne, Sydney e Grayndler. 21

O futuro

A descoberta mais notável sobre a indústria de reciclagem australiana é que, enquanto o governo se auto-relata que está indo bem, os analistas globais não são tão positivos. Por exemplo, a Statisita em sua pesquisa global sobre reciclagem relata apenas 30% dos materiais de resíduos nacionais sendo reciclados, em comparação com o valor do governo australiano de 50%. O que explica a diferença?

[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]

Além disso, o setor enfrenta enormes desafios para atender às tendências globais, incluindo uma queda nos preços das commodities para materiais recicláveis, como plásticos e vidro. Estes desenvolvimentos tornam a reciclagem de alguns materiais pouco rentáveis. Para uma indústria liderada pelo setor privado, como a da Austrália, isso é um desafio.

Reciclagem não pode ser apenas sobre como transformar os lucros, porque a reciclagem também tem imensurável capital social, ambiental e de saúde. Tem que haver um nível de investimento do governo para tornar a indústria sustentável. Uma maneira de desafiar a atual tendência de proliferação de aterros é se comprometer com a instalação de usinas locais para reciclar todos os materiais dentro do país, e para os consumidores se comprometerem a comprar produtos feitos a partir de produtos reciclados. Caso contrário, a indústria de reciclagem na Austrália pode, de fato, ficar morta na água.

Is recycling in Australia dead in the water?

Recycling in Australia is mostly a private sector led activity. The majority of recycling services are provided by the private sector under contract on behalf of local governments. Some provide recycling on a fee basis to households and industry. The contracts for recycling services are granted for periods as long as ten years.3[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”2_5″ layout=”2_5″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_separator style_type=”none” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”” top_margin=”30px” bottom_margin=”” border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_chart title=”” chart_type=”polarArea” chart_legend_position=”” x_axis_label=”” y_axis_label=”” show_tooltips=”” chart_border_type=”smooth” chart_fill=”off” chart_point_style=”circle” chart_point_size=”3″ chart_point_bg_color=”” chart_point_border_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” chart_bg_color=”” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” chart_axis_text_color=”” chart_gridline_color=”” x_axis_labels=”60% Waste |63% Waste |62% Waste ” legend_text_colors=”#ffffff|#ffffff|#ffffff” bg_colors=”#00bcd4|#8bc34a|#ff9800″ border_colors=”#00bcd4|#8bc34a|#ff9800″ chart_border_size=””][fusion_chart_dataset title=”Data Set 1″ legend_text_color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#00bcd4″ border_color=”#00bcd4″ values=”60|63|63″][/fusion_chart_dataset][/fusion_chart][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”no” hundred_percent_height=”no” hundred_percent_height_scroll=”no” hundred_percent_height_center_content=”yes” equal_height_columns=”no” menu_anchor=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”https://www.earthsquad.global/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/10-47.jpg” background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_mp4=”” video_webm=”” video_ogv=”” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” video_preview_image=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=””][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”3_5″ layout=”3_5″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.86)” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”45px” padding_right=”25px” padding_bottom=”25px” padding_left=”25px” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”0px” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]

Recycling in the big cities

In big cities such as Sydney, the city authorities organise recycling programs for residents including plastic, glass, cans, bottles and cartons, as well as paper and cardboard. However, certain items cannot be recycled including plastic bags, polystyrene, glass, and nappies. There is a specialised program called REDcycle for plastic bags and packaging including biscuit packets, shopping bags, bread bags, rice bags, frozen food bags. The goal of the city of Sydney is zero waste.4

Unwanted chemicals and toxic waste can also be disposed safely under the E-waste and Chemical Cleanout programs run by the Environmental Protection Authority.5 Items like paints, pesticides, chemicals, aerosols and old computers can be taken to Chemical Clean out events around the city periodically. Batteries, old mobile phones and light bulbs can be dropped off at Customer Service centres and libraries. These programs were set up to avoid toxic chemicals from ending up at landfills and seeping into the soil to contaminate the groundwater table.

…And in the countryside

The rural industries have less success with recycling, because of the high cost of logistics and collection. For example, industry insiders have described an “unsustainable situation” with recycling of glass, which has nowhere to go. It turns out that the viability of recycling glass in the rural areas is marginal and it is more economical for recycling firms to just dump the glass in a landfill. A manager in the recycling plant Polytrade, noting the proliferation of glass landfill sites stated: “We are back in the dark ages and we don’t know what to do. We are receiving more and more glass with nowhere to go.”6

With recycling companies locked into long-term contracts with the local councils and the current commodity price slump in the industry, this has created a situation where hundred of thousands of tonnes of recyclable material accumulates. A recent fire outbreak at a recycling facility highlighted the dangers of this practice.7[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”2_5″ layout=”2_5″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”45px” padding_right=”25px” padding_bottom=”25px” padding_left=”25px” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”0px” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”no” hundred_percent_height=”no” hundred_percent_height_scroll=”no” hundred_percent_height_center_content=”yes” equal_height_columns=”no” menu_anchor=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_mp4=”” video_webm=”” video_ogv=”” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” video_preview_image=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” padding_top=”40px” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=””][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” dimension_margin=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]

Self reported success

Is the industry successful or not? It is hard to provide a definitive measurement. Waste management outcomes and trends vary significantly across the states and territories but generally the Australian government is reporting positively on recycling industry outcomes. They note that even the lowest recovery rates are actually improving the fastest. Every year, more municipal waste is recycled rather than dumped, and this is an achievement. Even hard to recycle materials such as waste metals, organics and plastics appear to be reducing on a per capita basis. However, the volumes of material still ending up in the landfill or sitting in recycling centres, deemed too uneconomical to recycle, are significant.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”no” hundred_percent_height=”no” hundred_percent_height_scroll=”no” hundred_percent_height_center_content=”yes” equal_height_columns=”no” menu_anchor=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_mp4=”” video_webm=”” video_ogv=”” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” video_preview_image=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=””][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” dimension_margin=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]

Global challenges

It is estimated that by 2050, the weight of plastics in the oceans will match that of fish.8[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”2_3″ layout=”2_3″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”0px” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]Plastic recycling is also a major challenge. In Australia, more than 1.5 metric tons of crude oil derivative is consumed each year, and that is not counting the imported plastic products and packaging.9 Yet, only 300,000 tons of plastics are collected for recycling each year. Around half of the recycled plastic, or 150,000 tons is sent overseas for processing. Twenty percent of the material is reprocessed in Australia into pellets to be made into new products overseas.10[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_3″ layout=”1_3″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”0px” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_progress height=”40″ text_position=”” show_percentage=”no” unit=”” percentage=”15″ filledcolor=”#fe717e” filledbordersize=”” filledbordercolor=”” unfilledcolor=”” striped=”no” animated_stripes=”no” textcolor=”#333333″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]1.5 metric tons [/fusion_progress][fusion_separator style_type=”none” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”” top_margin=”7px” bottom_margin=”” border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_progress height=”40″ text_position=”” show_percentage=”no” unit=”” percentage=”30″ filledcolor=”#5bb45a” filledbordersize=”” filledbordercolor=”” unfilledcolor=”” striped=”no” animated_stripes=”no” textcolor=”#333333″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]300,000 tons[/fusion_progress][fusion_separator style_type=”none” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”” top_margin=”7px” bottom_margin=”” border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_progress height=”40″ text_position=”” show_percentage=”no” unit=”” percentage=”15″ filledcolor=”#1fbed6″ filledbordersize=”” filledbordercolor=”” unfilledcolor=”” striped=”no” animated_stripes=”no” textcolor=”#333333″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]150,000 tons[/fusion_progress][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” dimension_margin=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]The REDcycle program has tried to tackle this problem by setting up a separate collection mechanism for soft plastic packaging, because this type of material is hard to recycle unless it is separated from the other plastics.

The outlook

Some industry participants are not too positive about the outlook for the recycling industry in Australia. Mark Jacobsen, a Director of Marketing at Replas, a recycling firm, states: “Recycling in Australia is dead in the water, unless people are willing to buy recycled products made of their own waste.”13[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column_inner][fusion_builder_column_inner type=”2_3″ layout=”2_3″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” hover_type=”none” link=”” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”0px” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no” border_position=”all”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]Yet there are others who are increasing investments into recycling by approaching plastic waste sorting more aggressively.14 For example, Range International recovers unsorted plastic waste from Indonesian landfills and turns the water into shipping pallets. The company chose recycled plastic because currently the world’s shipping industry consumes 40% of the world’s timber supply on the production of pallets. For every 25 of the RePal pallets bought, one tree is saved from being felled.15[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column_inner][fusion_builder_column_inner type=”1_3″ layout=”1_3″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” hover_type=”none” link=”” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”0px” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no” border_position=”all”][fusion_counters_circle animation_offset=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””][fusion_counter_circle value=”40″ filledcolor=”” unfilledcolor=”#fe717e” size=”220″ scales=”no” countdown=”yes” speed=”1500″]40%[/fusion_counter_circle][/fusion_counters_circle][/fusion_builder_column_inner][fusion_builder_column_inner type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” hover_type=”none” link=”” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” dimension_margin=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no” border_position=”all”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]

The lesson in these examples is that the only sustainable way for uneconomical materials, such as plastics and glass, to become a part of a circular economy- rather than the linear one- is by reintroducing recycled materials back into the real economy. It is up to a new generation of recycling industry players to implement these ideas.

Advocates of recycling

Since recycling is a private sector activity, led by companies on behalf of the local communities, private companies are also the biggest advocates of recycling. However, there are a few public institutions and associations that are helping to lobby for more sustainable recycling solutions to be introduced.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_3″ layout=”1_3″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” dimension_margin=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_counters_circle animation_offset=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””][fusion_counter_circle value=”70″ filledcolor=”#fe717e” unfilledcolor=”” size=”220″ scales=”no” countdown=”yes” speed=”1500″]70[/fusion_counter_circle][/fusion_counters_circle][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]

The future

The most noteworthy finding about the Australian recycling industry is that while government self-reports that it is doing well, global analysts are not as positive. For example, Statisita in its global survey of recycling reports only 30% of national waste materials being recycled, compared with the Australian government’s figure of 50%. What accounts for the difference?

[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” dimension_margin=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]In addition, the industry faces huge challenges meeting global trends, including a drop-in commodity prices for recyclable materials such as plastics and glass. These developments make recycling of some materials uneconomical. For a private sector led industry, such as Australia’s, this is a challenge.

Recycling cannot be only about turning around profits because recycling also has immeasurable social, environmental and health capital. There has to be a level of investment from government to make the industry sustainable. One way to challenge the current trend of landfill site proliferation is to commit to setting up local plants to recycle all materials within the country, and for consumers to commit to buying products made from recycled products. Otherwise, the recycling industry in Australia, may indeed, become dead in the water.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”no” hundred_percent_height=”no” hundred_percent_height_scroll=”no” hundred_percent_height_center_content=”yes” equal_height_columns=”no” menu_anchor=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_mp4=”” video_webm=”” video_ogv=”” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” video_preview_image=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” padding_top=”40px” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=””][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” dimension_margin=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]

澳大利亚政府报告称,2016年澳大利亚回收了35万吨材料,占人均1,472千克,占澳大利亚产生的所有废弃物的60%.1据Statista称,只有奥地利和德国的回收率更高,为63分别占%和62%.2回收废物的百分比似乎逐年增加。

澳大利亚的回收主要是私营部门主导的活动。大多数回收服务由私营部门根据合同代表地方政府提供。有些提供收费回收给家庭和工业。回收服务合同的期限为10年

大城市的回收

在悉尼等大城市,市政当局为居民组织了回收计划,包括塑料玻璃,罐头,瓶子和纸箱,以及纸和纸板。但是,某些物品无法回收,包括塑料袋,聚苯乙烯,玻璃和尿布。有一个名为REDcycle的专门计划,用于塑料袋和包装,包括饼干包,购物袋,面包袋,米袋,冷冻食品袋。悉尼市的目标是零浪费 4

不需要的化学品和有毒的浪费也可以安全地处置由环境保护局管理的电子废物和化学清洁计划。 5 油漆,杀虫剂,化学品,气溶胶和旧计算机等物品可以用于化学清洁事件这个城市定期。客户服务中心和图书馆可以拆除电池,旧手机和灯泡。这些计划旨在避免有毒化学品进入垃圾填埋场并渗入土壤污染地下水位。

……在乡下

由于物流和收集的高成本,农村工业在回收方面的成功较少。例如,业内人士用回收玻璃描述了一种“不可持续的情况” ,无处可去。事实证明,农村地区回收玻璃的可行性对于回收公司来说,将玻璃倒入垃圾填埋场是比较经济的。 友邦洋回收工厂的一位经理指出,玻璃垃圾填埋场的扩散说:“我们又回到了黑暗时代,我们不知道该怎么办。我们收到的玻璃越来越多,无处可去。“ 6

随着回收公司与地方议会签订长期合同以及当前商品价格暴跌,这造成了数十万吨可回收材料积聚的局面。最近在回收设施爆发的火灾突出了这种做法的危险。7

自我报告的成功

这个行业是否成功?很难提供明确的衡量标准。 州和地区的废物管理结果和趋势差异很大,但澳大利亚政府通常对回收行业的结果做出积极报告。他们指出,即使是最低的回收率实际上也是最快的。每年,更多的市政物被回收而不是倾倒,这是一项成就。甚至难以回收废金属,有机物和废金属等材料塑料似乎在人均基础上减少。然而,仍然最终进入垃圾填埋场或坐在回收中心的材料量很大,这些材料被认为太不经济,无法回收利用。

尽管取得了积极成果,但澳大利亚面临着挑战,其中一些是全球趋势的结果。例如, 塑料浪费。作为一个被海洋包围的国家,最终在海洋中的绝对数量令人震惊。据估计,到2050年,海洋中塑料的重量将与鱼类的重量相匹配。8

塑料回收也是一项重大挑战。在澳大利亚,每年消耗超过1.5公吨的原油衍生物,这不包括进口的 塑料产品和包装。 9 然而,每年只收集30万吨塑料进行回收。大约一半的再生塑料,或15万吨被送往海外进行加工。百分之二十的材料在澳大利亚再加工成颗粒,在海外制成新产品.10

红色循环计划试图通过建立一个单独的软塑料包装收集机制来解决这个问题,因为这种材料很难回收,除非它与其他塑料分开。该计划已发展到全国各地超过600个收集站,主要是超市周围。 11 一家私人回收公司Replas已经经营了三十年,开始使用牛奶纸盒等软塑料。洗发水瓶装入塑料游乐设备,装饰和护柱。然而,消费者并没有像现在这样要求这些再生产品 浪费材料加工.12

前景

一些行业参与者对澳大利亚回收行业的前景并不太积极。回收公司营销总监马克雅各布森表示:“除非人们愿意购买由自己废弃物制成的再生产品,否则澳大利亚的回收利用已经死亡。” 13

然而,还有其他人通过更积极地接近塑料废物分类来增加对回收的投资。 14 例如,范围国际恢复未分类 塑料来自印尼垃圾填埋场的废物,并将水变成运输托盘。该公司选择回收 塑料因为目前世界航运业在托盘生产上消耗了全世界40%的木材供应。每购买25个RePal托盘,就可以挽救一棵树.15

这些例子的教训是,塑料和玻璃等不经济材料成为循环经济的一部分而不是线性经济的唯一可持续方式是将再生材料重新引入实体经济。这是由新一代回收行业的参与者实施这些想法。

未来

关于澳大利亚回收行业最值得注意的一个发现是,虽然政府自我报告说它表现良好,但全球分析师并不乐观。例如,Statisita在其全球回收调查报告中只报告了30%的国家废弃物材料被回收,而澳大利亚政府的这一数字为50%。是什么原因造成的?[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]

此外,该行业面临着应对全球趋势的巨大挑战,包括塑料和玻璃等可回收材料的商品价格下跌。这些发展使得一些材料的回收不经济。对于私营部门主导的行业,如澳大利亚,这是一个挑战。

回收利用不仅仅是为了扭转利润,因为回收利用也具有不可估量的社会,环境和健康资本。政府必须有一定程度的投资才能使该行业具有可持续性。挑战当前垃圾填埋场扩散趋势的一种方法是承诺建立当地工厂以回收国内所有材料,并让消费者承诺购买由再生产品制成的产品。否则,澳大利亚的回收行业可能确实会死于水中。

Die australische Regierung berichtet, dass im Jahr 2016 in Australien 35 Megatonnen Material recycelt wurden, was 1.472 kg pro Kopf und 60% aller in Australien lebenden Menschen entspricht. Abfall erzeugt in Australien 1 Nach Statista weisen nur Österreich und Deutschland höhere Recyclingquoten auf, bei 63% bzw. 62%. 2 Der prozentuale Anteil von Abfall Recyclingmaterial scheint von Jahr zu Jahr zu wachsen.

Recycling in Australien ist meist eine privatwirtschaftliche Aktivität. Der Großteil der Recycling-Dienstleistungen wird vom privaten Sektor im Auftrag der lokalen Regierungen bereitgestellt. Einige bieten Haushalten und der Industrie ein kostenpflichtiges Recycling an. Die Verträge für Recycling-Dienstleistungen werden für Zeiträume von bis zu zehn Jahren gewährt.

Recycling in den großen Städten

In Großstädten wie Sydney organisieren die Stadtbehörden Recyclingprogramme für Anwohner, darunter Kunststoff , Glas , Dosen, Flaschen und Kartons, sowie Papier und Pappe. Bestimmte Artikel können jedoch nicht recycelt werden, einschließlich Plastiktüten . Polystyrol, Glas und Windeln. Es gibt ein spezielles Programm namens REDcycle für Plastiktüten und -verpackungen, darunter Kekspakete, Einkaufstaschen, Brotbeutel, Reissäcke, Tiefkühlkostbeutel. Das Ziel der Stadt Sydney ist null Müll . 4

Unerwünschte Chemikalien und giftige Abfälle kann auch sicher unter den Programmen E-waste und Chemical Cleanout, die von der Environmental Protection Authority betrieben werden, gelagert werden. 5 Gegenstände wie Farben, Pestizide, Chemikalien, Aerosole und alte Computer können zur chemischen Reinigung von Ereignissen gebracht werden die Stadt in regelmäßigen Abständen. Batterien, alte Mobiltelefone und Glühbirnen können in Kundendienstzentren und Bibliotheken abgegeben werden. Diese Programme wurden eingerichtet, um zu verhindern, dass giftige Chemikalien auf Deponien landen und in den Boden gelangen, um den Grundwasserspiegel zu kontaminieren.

… Und auf dem Land

Die ländlichen Industrien haben wegen der hohen Kosten für Logistik und Sammlung weniger Erfolg beim Recycling. Zum Beispiel haben Brancheninsider eine “nicht nachhaltige Situation” mit Recycling von Glas Recyclingglas in den ländlichen Gebieten besteht ist marginal und es ist für Recyclingunternehmen wirtschaftlicher, das Glas einfach auf eine Mülldeponie zu werfen. Ein Manager in der Recyclinganlage Polytrade stellte fest: “Wir sind zurück in den dunklen Zeiten und wissen nicht, was wir tun sollen. Wir bekommen mehr und mehr Glas, ohne dass wir gehen können. “ 6

Mit Recyclingunternehmen, die langfristige Verträge mit den Gemeinden abgeschlossen haben, und dem aktuellen Einbruch der Rohstoffpreise in der Industrie hat dies eine Situation geschaffen, in der sich Hunderttausende Tonnen recycelbarer Materialien ansammeln. Ein neuer Brand in einer Recyclinganlage hat die Gefahren dieser Praxis deutlich gemacht.7

Selbst gemeldeter Erfolg

Ist die Industrie erfolgreich oder nicht? Es ist schwer, eine definitive Messung zu liefern. Waste Management-Ergebnisse und Trends In den einzelnen Bundesstaaten und Territorien gibt es erhebliche Unterschiede, aber generell berichtet die australische Regierung positiv über die Ergebnisse der Recyclingindustrie. Sie stellen fest, dass selbst die niedrigsten Wiederfindungsraten sich am schnellsten verbessern. Jedes Jahr werden mehr kommunale waste wird recycelt statt entsorgt, und das ist ein Erfolg. Selbst schwer recycelbare Materialien wie Altmetalle, organische Stoffe und plastics scheinen auf Pro-Kopf-Basis zu sinken. Dennoch sind die Mengen an Material, die noch auf der Deponie landen oder in Recyclingzentren lagern, als zu unwirtschaftlich für das Recycling zu betrachten.

Trotz positiver Ergebnisse steht Australien vor Herausforderungen, von denen einige auf globale Trends zurückzuführen sind. Zum Beispiel Plastik Verschwendung. Als ein von Ozeanen umgebenes Land ist das schiere Volumen, das in den Ozeanen landet, alarmierend. Es wird geschätzt, dass bis zum Jahr 2050 das Gewicht der Kunststoffe in den Ozeanen mit dem von Fischen übereinstimmt. 8

Kunststoffrecycling ist ebenfalls eine große Herausforderung. In Australien werden jedes Jahr mehr als 1,5 Tonnen Rohölderivate verbraucht, und das gilt nicht für die importierte Menge. Kunststoff Produkte und Verpackungen 9 Aber nur 300.000 Tonnen Kunststoffe werden jedes Jahr zum Recycling gesammelt. Etwa die Hälfte des recycelten Kunststoffs oder 150.000 Tonnen wird zur Verarbeitung ins Ausland geschickt. Zwanzig Prozent des Materials werden in Australien zu Pellets verarbeitet, die im Ausland zu neuen Produkten verarbeitet werden. 10

Das REDcycle-Programm hat versucht, dieses Problem anzugehen, indem es einen separaten Sammelmechanismus für Weichplastikverpackungen einrichtete, da diese Art von Material schwer zu recyceln ist, wenn es nicht von den anderen Kunststoffen getrennt wird. Das Programm ist in mehr als 600 Sammelstationen, meist in Supermärkten, im ganzen Land gewachsen.11 Ein privates Recyclingunternehmen, Replas, ist seit drei Jahrzehnten im Geschäft und verwandelt weiche Kunststoffe wie Milchkartons und Shampooflaschen in Spielgeräte aus Kunststoff, Terrassen und Poller. Dennoch fordern die Verbraucher diese recycelten Produkte nicht so sehr, wie sie sind Abfall Material zu verarbeiten.12

Der Ausblick

Einige Industrieteilnehmer sind nicht sehr optimistisch hinsichtlich der Aussichten für die Recyclingindustrie in Australien. Mark Jacobsen, Marketingdirektor bei Replas, einem Recyclingunternehmen, erklärt: “Das Recycling in Australien ist tot im Wasser, es sei denn, die Menschen sind bereit, recycelte Produkte aus ihren eigenen Abfällen zu kaufen.” 13

Aber es gibt andere, die ihre Investitionen in das Recycling erhöhen, indem sie die Sortierung von Kunststoffabfällen aggressiver angehen.14 Zum Beispiel, Range International erholt sich unsortiert Plastikmüll aus indonesischen Mülldeponien und verwandelt das Wasser in Transportpaletten. Das Unternehmen entschied sich für Recycling Kunststoff , weil die weltweite Schifffahrtsindustrie derzeit 40% der weltweiten Holzversorgung für die Produktion von Paletten verbraucht. Für jede 25 gekaufte RePal-Palette wird ein Baum vor dem Fällen bewahrt.15

Die Lektion in diesen Beispielen ist, dass die einzige nachhaltige Möglichkeit für unwirtschaftliche Materialien, wie Kunststoffe und Glas, Teil einer Kreislaufwirtschaft statt einer linearen Wirtschaft zu werden, ist die Wiedereinführung von recycelten Materialien in die Realwirtschaft. Es liegt an einer neuen Generation von Akteuren der Recyclingindustrie, diese Ideen umzusetzen.

Befürworter des Recyclings

Da das Recycling eine privatwirtschaftliche Tätigkeit ist, die von Unternehmen im Auftrag der lokalen Gemeinschaften geführt wird, sind private Unternehmen auch die größten Befürworter des Recyclings.

Der Australian Council of Recycling (ACOR) vertritt etwa 70 Unternehmen in der Recyclingindustrie in Australien und setzt sich aktiv für die Entwicklung von Richtlinien und Programmen ein, die das Recycling verbessern. ACOR setzt sich derzeit für mehr Investitionen in Recycling-Infrastruktur ein, die zuvor nach China exportierte Materialien recyceln und lokale Arbeitsplätze schaffen kann.

Die australische Vereinigung für Abfallwirtschaft bietet auch der Industrie die Gelegenheit, Kontakte zu knüpfen, Ideen auszutauschen und sich über Entwicklungen auf dem Laufenden zu halten. Es hat 1839 Mitglieder und organisiert Veranstaltungen im ganzen Land. 17

Die Australische Grüne Partei ist die ökologisch ausgerichtete politische Partei in der Regierung, die Jahr für Jahr seit ihrer Gründung im Jahr 1992 Gewinne macht. Die Partei steht für ökologische Prinzipien über neoliberale Ideologie und widmet sich vier Kernthemen Werte: ökologische Nachhaltigkeit, soziale Gerechtigkeit, Basisdemokratie und Frieden und Gewaltfreiheit. 19 Zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung hatte die Partei einen Vertreter im Repräsentantenhaus und neun im Senat von Australien, 23 gewählte Vertreter in den Land – und Territorialparlamenten, 100 lokale Berater und etwa 15.000 registrierte Mitglieder 20 Wie bei den Recycling – Ergebnissen sind die Grünen in die städtischen Gebiete, mit der stärksten Unterstützung in innerstädtischen Sitzen wie Melbourne, Sydney und Grayndler. 21

Die Zukunft

Das bemerkenswerteste Ergebnis der australischen Recyclingindustrie ist, dass die globalen Analysten zwar nicht so positiv sind, wie die Regierung selbst berichtet, dass es gut läuft. Zum Beispiel berichtet Statidisa in seiner globalen Umfrage zum Recycling, dass nur 30% der nationalen Abfallstoffe recycelt werden, verglichen mit 50% der australischen Regierung. Was macht den Unterschied aus?[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]

Darüber hinaus sieht sich die Branche mit großen Herausforderungen konfrontiert, die den globalen Trends entsprechen, einschließlich der fallenden Rohstoffpreise für wiederverwertbare Materialien wie Kunststoffe und Glas. Diese Entwicklungen machen das Recycling einiger Materialien unwirtschaftlich. Für eine privatwirtschaftlich geführte Industrie wie Australien ist dies eine Herausforderung.

Beim Recycling geht es nicht nur darum, Profite umzukehren, denn das Recycling hat auch ein unermessliches soziales, ökologisches und gesundheitliches Kapital. Die Regierung muss ein gewisses Maß an Investitionen tätigen, um die Industrie nachhaltig zu machen. Eine Möglichkeit, den derzeitigen Trend zur Verbreitung von Deponien in Frage zu stellen, besteht in der Einrichtung lokaler Anlagen zur Wiederverwertung aller Materialien im Land und in der Verpflichtung der Verbraucher, Produkte aus recycelten Produkten zu kaufen. Andernfalls könnte die Recyclingindustrie in Australien tatsächlich tot im Wasser werden.

Переработка в Австралии в основном является деятельностью частного сектора. Большинство услуг по рециркуляции предоставляются частным сектором по контракту от имени местных органов власти. Некоторые из них предусматривают переработку на платной основе для домашних хозяйств и промышленности. Контракты на услуги по рециклингу предоставляются на срок до десяти лет. 3 [/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”2_5″ layout=”2_5″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_separator style_type=”none” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”” top_margin=”30px” bottom_margin=”” border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_chart title=”” chart_type=”polarArea” chart_legend_position=”” x_axis_label=”” y_axis_label=”” show_tooltips=”” chart_border_type=”smooth” chart_fill=”off” chart_point_style=”circle” chart_point_size=”3″ chart_point_bg_color=”” chart_point_border_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” chart_bg_color=”” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” chart_axis_text_color=”” chart_gridline_color=”” x_axis_labels=”60% Waste |63% Waste |62% Waste ” legend_text_colors=”#ffffff|#ffffff|#ffffff” bg_colors=”#00bcd4|#8bc34a|#ff9800″ border_colors=”#00bcd4|#8bc34a|#ff9800″ chart_border_size=””][fusion_chart_dataset title=”Data Set 1″ legend_text_color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#00bcd4″ border_color=”#00bcd4″ values=”60|63|63″][/fusion_chart_dataset][/fusion_chart][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”no” hundred_percent_height=”no” hundred_percent_height_scroll=”no” hundred_percent_height_center_content=”yes” equal_height_columns=”no” menu_anchor=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”https://www.earthsquad.global/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/10-47.jpg” background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_mp4=”” video_webm=”” video_ogv=”” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” video_preview_image=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=””][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”3_5″ layout=”3_5″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.86)” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”45px” padding_right=”25px” padding_bottom=”25px” padding_left=”25px” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”0px” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]

Переработка в больших городах

В крупных городах, таких как Сидней, городские власти организуют программы утилизации для жителей, включая пластик , стекло , банки, бутылки и картона, а также бумаги и картона. Однако некоторые предметы не могут быть переработаны, включая пластиковые пакеты , полистирол, стекло и подгузники. Существует специальная программа под названием REDcycle для пластиковых пакетов и упаковки, включая бисквитные пакеты, сумки для покупок, сумочки для хлеба, мешки с рисом, мешки с замороженными продуктами. Целью города Сиднея является ноль отходы . 4

Нежелательные химические вещества и токсичные отходы также могут безопасно удаляться в рамках программ E-waste и Chemical Cleanout, находящихся в ведении Управления по охране окружающей среды. 5 Элементы, такие как краски, пестициды, химикаты, аэрозоли и старые компьютеры, город периодически. Батареи, старые мобильные телефоны и лампочки можно высадить в центрах обслуживания клиентов и в библиотеках. Эти программы были созданы для того, чтобы избежать попадания токсичных химических веществ на полигоны и просачивания в почву, чтобы загрязнить таблицу грунтовых вод.

… И в сельской местности

Сельские отрасли имеют меньший успех при переработке, из-за высокой стоимости логистики и сбора. Например, инсайдеры отрасли описали «неустойчивую ситуацию» с переработкой стекла , которому некуда идти. Оказывается, что жизнеспособность перерабатывающего стекла в сельских районах является маргинальным, и для компаний, занимающихся переработкой, более экономично просто сбрасывать стакан на полигон. Менеджер на заводе по переработке отходов Polytrade, отметив распространение стекольных полигонов, заявил: «Мы вернулись в темные века, и мы не знаем, что делать. Мы получаем все больше и больше стакана, чтобы некуда идти ». 6

Когда компании по переработке вторглись в долгосрочные контракты с местными советами и нынешний спад цен на сырьевые товары в отрасли, это создало ситуацию, когда накапливается сто тысяч тонн перерабатываемого материала. Недавняя вспышка пожара на объекте по рециркуляции подчеркнула опасность этой практики. 7

Успешное сообщение о себе

Успешно ли эта отрасль? Трудно дать окончательное измерение. Отходы результаты и тенденции управления значительно различаются по штатам и территориям, но, как правило, австралийское правительство позитивно отчитывается о результатах переработки в промышленности. Они отмечают, что даже самые низкие показатели восстановления фактически улучшаются быстрее всего. Каждый год более муниципальные отходы перерабатывается, а не сбрасывается, и это достижение. Даже трудно утилизировать такие материалы, как отходы металлов, органические вещества и пластмассы уменьшаются на душу населения. Однако существенные объемы материалов, которые все еще заканчиваются на полигонах или находятся в центрах переработки, считаются слишком экономичными для переработки.

Глобальные проблемы

Несмотря на положительные результаты, Австралия сталкивается с проблемами, некоторые из которых являются результатом глобальных тенденций. Например, пластиковые отходы. Как страна, окруженная океанами, огромный объем, который заканчивается в океанах, вызывает тревогу. По оценкам, к 2050 году масса пластмасс в океанах будет соответствовать массе рыбы. 8

Переработка пластмасс также является серьезной проблемой. В Австралии ежегодно потребляется более 1,5 метрических тонн производных сырой нефти, и это не считается импортированным пластик продукты и упаковка 9 Тем не менее, только 300 000 тонн пластмасс собираются для рециркуляции каждый год. Около половины переработанного пластика, или 150 000 тонн, отправляется за границу для переработки. Двадцать процентов материала перерабатывается в Австралии в виде гранул для производства новых продуктов за рубежом. 10

Программа REDcycle попыталась решить эту проблему, создав отдельный механизм сбора для мягкой пластиковой упаковки, потому что этот тип материала трудно утилизировать, если он не отделен от других пластмасс. Эта программа превратилась в более чем 600 станций сбора, в основном вокруг супермаркетов по всей стране. 11 Частная компания по переработке отходов Replas работает в течение трех десятилетий, превращая мягкие пластмассы, такие как молочные коробки и бутылки шампуня в оборудование для игры в пластиковые игры, настилы и столбики. Тем не менее, потребители не требуют этих переработанных продуктов, так как существует отходы для обработки. 12

Перспектива

Некоторые представители отрасли не слишком позитивно оценивают перспективы отрасли переработки в Австралии. Марк Якобсен, директор по маркетингу Replas, компании по переработке, заявляет: «Переработка в Австралии мертва в воде, если люди не хотят покупать переработанные продукты, изготовленные из собственных отходов». 13

Тем не менее, есть и другие, которые увеличивают инвестиции в переработку, приближаясь к сортировке пластиковых отходов более агрессивно. 14 Например, Range International восстанавливает несортированные пластмасса отходы от индонезийских полигонов и превращает воду в отгрузочные поддоны. Компания выбрала переработанный пластик , поскольку в настоящее время мировая судоходная отрасль потребляет 40% мировой поставки древесины для производства поддонов. За каждые 25 купленных поддонов RePal одно дерево спасено от рубок. 15

Урок в этих примерах состоит в том, что единственным устойчивым способом для неэкономичных материалов, таких как пластмассы и стекло, стать частью круговой экономики, а не линейной, является повторное введение вторичных материалов в реальную экономику. Этим идеям принадлежит новое поколение игроков отрасли по переработке вторсырья.

Адвокаты рециркуляции

Поскольку рециркуляция является деятельностью частного сектора, возглавляемой компаниями от имени местных сообществ, частные компании также являются крупнейшими сторонниками переработки. Тем не менее, существует несколько общественных институтов и ассоциаций, которые помогают лоббировать более устойчивые решения по рециркуляции, которые будут внедрены.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_3″ layout=”1_3″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_counters_circle animation_offset=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””][fusion_counter_circle value=”70″ filledcolor=”#fe717e” unfilledcolor=”” size=”220″ scales=”no” countdown=”yes” speed=”1500″]70[/fusion_counter_circle][/fusion_counters_circle][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]

Партия австралийских зеленых является самой экологически ориентированной политической партией в правительстве, которая зарабатывает год за годом с момента ее образования в 1992 году. 18 Партия выступает за экологические принципы над неолиберальной идеологией и посвящена четырем основным ценности: экологическая устойчивость, социальная справедливость, низовая демократия и мир и отказ от насилия. 19 На момент публикации у партии был один представитель в Палате и девять в Сенате Австралии, 23 избранных представителя в государственных и территориальных парламентах, 100 местных консультантов и около 15 000 зарегистрированных членов . 20 . Как и в случае с рециклингом, Зеленые являются более популярными в в городских районах, где сильнейшая поддержка в местных городских местах, таких как Мельбурн, Сидней и Грейндлер. 21

Будущее

Наиболее примечательный вывод об австралийской отрасли переработки отходов заключается в том, что, хотя правительство самоотчеты о том, что все идет хорошо, глобальные аналитики не так позитивны. Например, Statisita в своем глобальном обзоре рециркуляции сообщает, что только 30% национальных отходов перерабатываются, по сравнению с 50% -ным показателем австралийского правительства. Что объясняет разницу?[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]

Кроме того, отрасль сталкивается с огромными проблемами, связанными с глобальными тенденциями, включая падение цен на сырье для перерабатываемых материалов, таких как пластмассы и стекло. Эти разработки делают переработку некоторых материалов неэкономичными. Для отрасли частного сектора, такой как Австралия, это вызов.

Утилизация не может быть связана только с оборотом прибыли, поскольку рециркуляция также имеет неизмеримый социальный, экологический и медицинский капитал. Должен быть уровень инвестиций от правительства, чтобы сделать отрасль устойчивой. Один из способов оспаривать текущую тенденцию распространения полигонов – это обязательство создать местные заводы для переработки всех материалов в стране и для потребителей совершать покупки продуктов, изготовленных из переработанных продуктов. В противном случае отрасль рециркуляции в Австралии может действительно погибнуть в воде.

El gobierno australiano informa que treinta y cinco mega toneladas de material se reciclaron en Australia en 2016, lo que representa 1.472 kg per cápita y el 60% de todas las waste generado en Australia. 1 Según Statista, solo Austria y Alemania tienen tasas de reciclaje más altas, al 63% y 62%, respectivamente. 2 El porcentaje de waste El material reciclado parece crecer año tras año.

Reciclar en Australia es principalmente una actividad liderada por el sector privado. La mayoría de los servicios de reciclaje son provistos por el sector privado bajo contrato en nombre de los gobiernos locales. Algunos proporcionan reciclaje a cambio de honorarios a los hogares y la industria. Los contratos de servicios de reciclaje se otorgan por períodos de hasta diez años. 3

Reciclaje en las grandes ciudades

En las grandes ciudades como Sydney, las autoridades de la ciudad organizan programas de reciclaje para los residentes, entre ellos plástico , vidrio , latas, botellas y cajas de cartón, así como papel y cartón. Sin embargo, ciertos artículos no se pueden reciclar, incluidas las bolsas de plástico . poliestireno, glass y pañales. Existe un programa especializado llamado REDcycle para bolsas y envases de plástico que incluye paquetes de galletas, bolsas de compras, bolsas de pan, bolsas de arroz, bolsas de alimentos congelados. El objetivo de la ciudad de Sydney es zero desperdicio . 4

Productos químicos no deseados y tóxicos waste también se puede desechar de forma segura bajo los Programas de residuos electrónicos y limpieza química administrados por la Autoridad de Protección Ambiental. 5 Se pueden llevar artículos como pinturas, pesticidas, químicos, aerosoles y computadoras viejas a eventos de limpieza química alrededor de la ciudad periódicamente. Las baterías, los teléfonos móviles viejos y las bombillas pueden depositarse en los centros y bibliotecas de Atención al Cliente. Estos programas se establecieron para evitar que los químicos tóxicos terminen en los vertederos y se filtren en el suelo para contaminar el nivel freático.

… Y en el campo

Las industrias rurales tienen menos éxito con el reciclaje, debido al alto costo de la logística y la recolección. Por ejemplo, los expertos de la industria han descrito una “situación insostenible” con reciclaje de vidrio que no tiene a dónde ir. Resulta que la viabilidad de reciclaje de vidrio en las zonas rurales es marginal y para las empresas de reciclaje es más económico simplemente verter el vidrio en un vertedero. Un gerente de la planta de reciclaje Polytrade, al señalar la proliferación de vertederos de vidrio, declaró: “Estamos en la edad media y no sabemos qué hacer. Estamos recibiendo más y más vidrio sin ningún lugar adonde ir. “ 6

Con las compañías de reciclaje encerradas en contratos a largo plazo con los consejos locales y la actual caída de los precios de los productos básicos en la industria, esto ha creado una situación en la que se acumulan cientos de miles de toneladas de material reciclable. Un reciente brote de incendio en una instalación de reciclaje destacó los peligros de esta práctica. 7

Éxito autoinformado

¿La industria es exitosa o no? Es difícil proporcionar una medida definitiva. Residuos resultados y tendencias de gestión varían significativamente entre los estados y territorios, pero en general el gobierno australiano informa positivamente sobre los resultados de la industria de reciclaje. Señalan que incluso las tasas de recuperación más bajas en realidad están mejorando más rápido. Cada año, más residuos municipales municipal se recicla en lugar de tirarse, y esto es un logro. Incluso materiales difíciles de reciclar, como desechos de metales, compuestos orgánicos y plastics parece estar reduciendo en una base per cápita. Sin embargo, los volúmenes de material que todavía terminan en el relleno sanitario o que se encuentran en centros de reciclaje, considerados poco rentables para reciclar, son significativos.

A pesar de los resultados positivos, Australia enfrenta desafíos, algunos de los cuales son el resultado de tendencias globales. Por ejemplo, plástico residuos. Como país rodeado de océanos, el volumen que termina en los océanos es alarmante. Se estima que para 2050, el peso de los plásticos en los océanos coincidirá con el de los peces. 8

El reciclaje de plástico también es un gran desafío. En Australia, se consumen más de 1.5 toneladas métricas de derivados de petróleo crudo cada año, y eso no incluye el plástico productos y empaques. 9 Sin embargo, solo se recolectan 300,000 toneladas de plásticos para reciclar cada año. Alrededor de la mitad del plástico reciclado, o 150,000 toneladas, se envía al extranjero para su procesamiento. El veinte por ciento del material se reprocesó en Australia para convertirlo en pellets en nuevos productos en el extranjero. 10

El programa REDcycle ha intentado abordar este problema mediante la creación de un mecanismo de recolección separado para el embalaje de plástico blando, ya que este tipo de material es difícil de reciclar a menos que esté separado de los otros plásticos. El programa se ha convertido en más de 600 estaciones de recolección, en su mayoría alrededor de supermercados, en todo el país. 11 Una empresa privada de reciclaje, Replas, ha estado en el negocio durante tres décadas, transformando plásticos blandos como cartones de leche y champú botellas en equipos de juego de plástico, terrazas y bolardos. Sin embargo, los consumidores no exigen estos productos reciclados tanto como material de desecho para procesar. 12

La perspectiva

Algunos participantes de la industria no son demasiado positivos sobre las perspectivas para la industria del reciclaje en Australia. Mark Jacobsen, Director de Marketing de Replas, una empresa de reciclaje, afirma: “El reciclaje en Australia está muerto en el agua, a menos que la gente esté dispuesta a comprar productos reciclados hechos de sus propios residuos”. 13

Sin embargo, hay otros que están aumentando las inversiones en el reciclaje de residuos plásticos que se acerca la clasificación de manera más agresiva. 14 Por ejemplo, Rango Internacional recupera sin clasificar, plastic residuos de rellenos sanitarios de Indonesia y convierte el agua en plataformas de envío. La compañía eligió reciclado plástico porque en la actualidad la industria mundial del transporte marítimo Consume el 40% del suministro mundial de madera en la producción de palets. Por cada 25 de las paletas RePal compradas, se salva un árbol para que no se corte. 15

La lección de estos ejemplos es que la única manera sostenible de que los materiales no económicos, como los plásticos y el vidrio, se conviertan en parte de una economía circular, en lugar de la lineal, es reintroducir los materiales reciclados en la economía real. Corresponde a una nueva generación de jugadores de la industria del reciclaje implementar estas ideas.

Defensores del reciclaje

Dado que el reciclaje es una actividad del sector privado, liderada por empresas en nombre de las comunidades locales, las empresas privadas también son los principales defensores del reciclaje. Sin embargo, hay algunas instituciones y asociaciones públicas que están ayudando a presionar para que se introduzcan soluciones de reciclaje más sostenibles.

El Consejo Australiano de Reciclaje (ACOR) representa a alrededor de 70 empresas en la industria del reciclaje en Australia, y presiona al gobierno para que desarrolle políticas y programas que mejoren el reciclaje. ACOR aboga actualmente por una mayor inversión en infraestructura de reciclaje que pueda reciclar materiales previamente exportados a China y crear empleos locales. 16

La Asociación de Gestión de Residuos de Australia también brinda la oportunidad para que la industria se conecte, intercambie ideas y se mantenga al día con los desarrollos. Cuenta con 1839 miembros y organiza eventos en todo el país. 17

El Partido Verde australiano es el partido político más ecológicamente orientado en el gobierno que gana año tras año desde que se formó en 1992. 18 El partido defiende los principios ecológicos sobre la ideología neoliberal y está dedicado a cuatro puntos principales. valores: sostenibilidad ecológica, justicia social, democracia de base y paz y no violencia. 19 En el momento de la publicación, el partido tenía un representante en la Cámara de Representantes y nueve en el Senado de Australia, 23 representantes elegidos en los parlamentos estatales y territoriales, 100 consejeros locales y sobre 15,000 miembros registrados . 20 Al igual que con los resultados de reciclaje, los Verdes son más populares en las áreas urbanas, con el apoyo más fuerte en los asientos del centro de la ciudad como Melbourne, Sydney y Grayndler. 21

El futuro

El hallazgo más notable sobre la industria australiana del reciclaje es que, si bien el gobierno informa de que lo está haciendo bien, los analistas globales no son tan positivos. Por ejemplo, Statisita en su encuesta global de reciclaje informa que solo el 30% de los residuos nacionales se reciclan, en comparación con la cifra del 50% del gobierno australiano. ¿Cómo se explica la diferencia?

[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]

Además, la industria enfrenta enormes desafíos para satisfacer las tendencias globales, incluida la caída de los precios de los productos básicos para materiales reciclables, como plásticos y vidrio. Estos desarrollos hacen que el reciclaje de algunos materiales no sea económico. Para una industria liderada por el sector privado, como la de Australia, esto es un desafío.

El reciclaje no puede ser solo un cambio de ganancias, ya que el reciclaje también tiene un capital social, ambiental y de salud inconmensurable. Tiene que haber un nivel de inversión del gobierno para que la industria sea sostenible. Una forma de desafiar la tendencia actual de la proliferación de vertederos es comprometerse a establecer plantas locales para reciclar todos los materiales dentro del país, y para que los consumidores se comprometan a comprar productos hechos de productos reciclados.
