\u201cThis material recovery facility is another great example of the kind of infrastructure we need to boost recycling in Australia, while also creating jobs in the process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Albanese Government\u2019s investment means more local jobs on the Sunshine Coast, less rubbish in landfill and a healthier environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Queensland Environment Minister, Leanne Linard said the Palaszczuk Government was committed to working with councils in Queensland to enhance their waste and resource recovery services as we move to a zero-waste society by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne way we will achieve our goals is to support greater re-use, recycling and remanufacturing of recyclable materials and this new materials recycling facility will help us do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Member for Nicklin, Robert Skelton said the new facility would contribute to economic growth for the region, create jobs and reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cResource recovery is of vital importance in our drive for environmental sustainability, embodying the principles of a circular economy by reusing, recycling, and repurposing materials and energy sources, thereby reducing waste generation and conserving valuable resources,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Palaszczuk Government is pleased to support Sunshine Coast Council in the implementation of its waste management plans, to deliver significant change in waste management right through to the household level.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
