Today we're exploring one of the biggest policy debates facing the waste and recycling sector: who should be responsible for the products and packaging we use once they reach the end of their life.

Dr Nathan Weber, a Chancellor's Research Fellow in the School of Civil, Environmental & Sociotechnical Engineering at the University of Technology Sydney, joins Beyond the Bin to unpack waste-to-energy technology separate fact from fiction, and explore some of the myths surrounding its role in Australia's waste management technology.

In the latest episode of Beyond the Bin, John McKew, National Executive Officer of the Australian Organics Recycling Association breaks down a major issue right at the foot of our driveway – green bin contamination. We delve into what belongs in the organic waste, what definitely doesn't, and what happens when we get it wrong.

In Episode two of Beyond the Bin we talk to former Assistant Minister for Waste and the Environment in the Morrison government, Trevor Evans about his time in parliament, as well as his new role as interim CEO of COEX. For a sneak preview click below. We look at lessons learned from being in government, as well as some of the challenges of his new role.
