Publication of hazardous waste data assessment
The Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities has released the Hazardous Waste Data Assessment.
The Hazardous Waste Data Assessment increases the level of public information available regarding hazardous waste generated in states and territories by providing a compilation of available data and information on hazardous waste volumes in Australia.
The Hazardous Waste Data Assessment comprises two reports:
- Hazardous Waste Data Assessment - the Data Report compiles data and information on hazardous waste generation in Australia, including the hazardous waste that crosses state, territory or national borders and hazardous waste that remains within a single jurisdiction.
- Hazardous Waste Data Summary - the Summary Report provides further interpretation and analysis of the data presented in the Hazardous Waste Data Assessment and draws out headline messages about hazardous waste generation in Australia.
The Hazardous Waste Data Assessment can be accessed on the department’s website: http://www.environment.gov.au/wastepolicy/publications/hazardous-waste-data.html.
