(10) The arrangements between Replas and the MRF contractor are commercial in nature, and TCCS are unable to provide this information.
(11) Recycled paper and cardboard from the Hume MRF is currently being sent to the closest facility being the VISY plant in Tumut, NSW.
(12) The ACT Government is continually looking for new and innovative opportunities to work with the recycling industry across Australia. Currently the opportunities are limited by the market demand. The government is focussed on creating opportunities for the market to continually expand its ability to recycle more products.
(13) As the management of the MRF is contracted out, the decision on how to best reuse materials created through the recycling processes are commercial in nature, and therefore TCCS are unable to provide this advice.
(14) TCCS does not collect this information, however based on an understanding of the composition of ACT waste and the operation of recycling markets it is understood the vast majority of ACT waste is processed in Australia.
(15) TCCS does not collect information on the final destination of all recycled materials that leave the Territory. Based on an understanding of the composition of ACT waste and the operation of recycling markets it likely that only a small percentage of the ACT’s waste is exported from Australia.
a) In terms of the material processed by the Hume MRF a small proportion of material, less than 5%, is potentially exported to international markets, including Asian markets. This includes mixed plastics, and tin plate material.
b) TCCS is not able to provide this advice.
