Ipswich presents innovative solutions at waste resources convention 11 October 2018 The City of Ipswich has unveiled revolutionary recycling plans at the opening of the inaugural Future Waste Resources 2018 convention today.Interim administrator Greg Chemello told FWR delegates Ipswich and neighbouring councils are looking to spearhead a campaign which would aim to bring the world’s best recycling solutions to the region.“Ipswich is working collaboratively with neighbouring and interested local governments on a South-East Queensland sub-regional waste and resource recovery alliance.  We know the challenges and opportunities for better managing waste are best addressed on a regional or sub-regional basis,” he said.“This sub-regional alliance will be working to identify potential industry partners who are serious contenders for the provision of waste management and recycling services across local government boundaries.“I’m hopeful that the alliance will provide multiple benefits, including more scalable options for waste and resource recovery solutions, shared project management, funding resources and major infrastructure, and a collaborative approach that can optimise and enhance waste management and resource recovery solutions.”Mr Chemello said that in conjunction with council's existing sustainable practices that are continually pushing innovation and improvement, Ipswich wants to be leading the way towards zero waste, and managing waste as valuable resources within a circular economy approach.The convention, taking place at Queensland’s historic and oldest manufacturing centre, The Workshops Rail Museum in North Ipswich from 11-13 October, is being hosted by Waste, Recycling Industry Association of Queensland (WRIQ), supported by the City of Ipswich.
