As Australia takes steps toward a sustainable future, Waste Expo Australia 2024 is set to be at the forefront of the conversation. This year’s event, scheduled for October 23 and 24 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, promises to be a pivotal gathering for professionals in waste management, recycling, and resource recovery. With more than 100 solution providers exhibiting, and an expected attendance of more than 3,000 trade visitors, Waste Expo Australia will bring together industry leaders, innovators, and government representatives to share expertise and chart the future of sustainable waste management across the country.
The exhibition floor will be packed with cutting-edge technologies and solutions from key industry players such as AMCS, HSR Southern Cross, and ResourceCo. Newcomers like Vortair and GCM will also take the stage, offering exciting products and services that address the industry’s evolving needs. Jeff Lang, from Vortair, is looking forward to presenting their new Vortair 500 system at Waste Expo Australia 2024.
“The Waste Expo is the largest trade event in the industry for local councils, and we’re excited to demonstrate how the Vortair 500 can transform waste into profits. Our focus is on helping reduce waste going to landfill, and this event provides the perfect platform to showcase our innovative solutions for waste reduction and sustainability,” he says.
HSR Southern Cross will also make its mark at Waste Expo Australia. As the only certified Australian-made and Australian-owned waste equipment manufacturer, HSR is excited to introduce their innovative solutions to the broader industry.
“Our equipment is designed to be efficient, durable, and user-friendly. We are eager to demonstrate how it can support the growing needs of the waste management sector. Being the only certified Australian manufacturer in this space, we’re proud to bring local innovation to the forefront and connect with industry leaders,” said Jake Henderson, HSR’s National General Manager.
Beyond the exhibition, Waste Expo Australia 2024 is a thought leadership event featuring a robust conference program. With more than 60 sessions across four key streams—Commercial & Industrial (C&I)/Construction & Demolition (C&D), Circular Economy, Government/Policy, and Waste-to-Energy—the conference will address critical topics shaping the industry’s future. Chaired by sustainability advocate Sally Williams, the program will feature over 100 expert speakers offering insights into policy challenges, industry innovations, and strategies for achieving a circular economy.
One of the highlights of this year’s Expo is the new Government Lounge, featuring Sustainability Victoria, Recycling Victoria, and EPA Victoria. This dedicated space offers local councils and industry professionals an opportunity to engage with government representatives on key issues such as behaviour change, recycling, and addressing future waste challenges.
Another standout feature is the Zero Waste Café, an initiative that reinforces the events commitment to reducing its environmental impact. The café will eliminate packaged food, offer glass-only cold beverages, and provide sustainable alternatives to single-use items, aligning with the events journey to achieving net-zero waste.
With free registration and a VIP option available, Waste Expo Australia 2024 is shaping up to be a must-attend event for anyone in the industry.
