The Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council (EMRC), in partnership with the GHD group, recently completed a ‘Scan of the Circular Economy Horizon in WA’ to capture a clearer picture of the WA scenario and to catalyse the adoption of circularity.
The Regional Circular Economy Horizon Scan will assist the EMRC to plan, promote and advance circularity in Perth’s Eastern Region and across wider WA. It acts as a guiding document to reduce environmental impacts, drive circular economy-based initiatives, future-proof the business for market changes, and increase awareness of the Circular Economy benefits.
‘Circularity is the key to achieving Net Zero and the Horizon Scan will help us understand our current position, regionally, and where we need to head to achieve our target of ‘below zero carbon emissions by 2040’. This will be made possible through industry-wide collaboration, cross-industry mapping based on needs assessment, ecological symbiosis and co-location, and creating industry and materials focused roadmaps to enable a circular economy, regionally and wider’ said the EMRC CEO Marcus Geisler.
The Regional Circular Economy Horizon Scan will support the EMRC to make circular economy-focused strategic and operational decisions based on economic, regulatory, and policy trends including working toward achieving net zero and continuing diversion from landfill, as well as waste market forecasts and shifting circular economy drivers.
The EMRC continues to lead the journey towards decarbonisation and Net Zero, through its newly adopted Sustainability Strategy, and now with the Regional Circular Economy Horizon Scan as a guiding document to adopt circularity in WA.
The Regional Circular Economy Horizon Scan report is available on the EMRC’s website https://www.emrc.org.au/
