 Rich Bowden talks with Chief Circular Economist for Circular NSW, Dr Kar Mei Tang, about fast-tracking circular systems to eliminate Australia’s carbon footprint. NSW Circular Rich Bowden Writing Central West Music and Video This week I talk to Dr Kar Mei Tang, Chief Circular Economist for NSW Circular. Dr Tang talks eloquently about the link between carbon emissions and our waste, stating that designing out waste in our economy will help us reach our net-zero carbon goals. She also discusses how households can reduce their own waste as well as achieve goals by putting pressure on our elected representatives, circular agriculture, recycling tips, what more needs to be done from a government level and lots more! A fascinating chat, please dive in for a listen! Outline I respectfully acknowledge that this podcast is produced on traditional Aboriginal Wiradjuri Nation lands. We pay respects to Elders both past and present and honour Wiradjuri connections to these lands, which they have nurtured for over 50,000 years.  If you’re wondering what NSW government’s thinking for the climate emergency and how we can reach zero carbon emissions by 2050, then this interview is for you.  Circular NSW,  a NSW government-funded body created by the Office of the NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer, has a mission to fast track transition to a circular economy for climate change. Their work of an operational nature brings together researchers, industry, business, government, and individuals, to work together to create resilient circular systems.  Kar Mei says, primary aims are eliminating waste and the continual use of virgin resources. The focus is on designing out waste and pollution and looking at keeping product materials in use. And planning for waste minimization, reusing what is consumed, and sharing with manufacturing and recycling to produce close-knit systems for our goods and products. She speaks on: - Why Australia needs a ramp up on its waste management awareness; Potential opportunities emerging in circular systems areas of building materials, construction and operation, and waste recycling.Renewable energy – a correct focus for eliminating our carbon emissions, but we need to do more, since energy comprises only half our footprint. We need focus on the other half: how we consume our resources, our agricultural sector and the transport sector. Building a resilient circular economy – what impact on climate change can we expect if we look at the best case scenario, implementing collective action over the next 10 years. Energy consumption – half our footprint is energy used in our households, work place and industry processes. Transitioning to renewables is already happening quickly–where we can see the power of government policies at work.Industry processes & energy consumption – we need to do more, as they technology around industry processes is very new and possibilities such as, hydrogen power, are not yet at commercial levels.Drawbacks about natural gas as a transition energy source.The buildings we live in contribute 28% of our green house emissions – we need to design out use of virgin materials and reuse materials from demolitions sites to make new materials––concrete, steel and aluminium create a lot of emissions to produce and transport. Recycling – a need to think about what we can reuse from our products when they fall apart: standards and labelling help recycling––it’s difficult to reuse unless we know what products are made of.Digital produces model enabling the geocode of construction materials provides information from the distributor of the materials so we will be able to find out what the materials are made of, and how to track down the source and recyclability of the materials. The Federal Budget and what more needs to be done.Circular Agriculture – waste managers need to connect with communities to share learning.My Circular Community – a service for local governments to share information for opportunities for waste systems and recovery of materials. Kar Mei tips: what we can do to fast track for climate change Make consumer decisions like consider the packaging;Plan for better organic shopping – only buy what you need;Make responsible decisions when throwing out rubbish by using the bins correctly to separate types of waste;Community organisations and schools can monitor what is consumed and what you waste;Kar Mei’s final tip: Write a letter – “Take advantage of our democratic system … let your voice be heard!” if you’re concerned about a problem, then write a letter to your local MP or council … it will make a difference!
