About this Webinar
Daniel Fyfe from Danson Partners is joining us for a thought-provoking and entertaining look at the future of landfills in Australia.
Whether you're a landfill operator, regulator, consultant or simply curious about where the sector is heading, this session will be an engaging mix of market intelligence, industry commentary and informed speculation about Australia's waste future.
Drawing on current policy settings, industry trends, media commentary, emerging technologies and a healthy dose of AI-assisted speculation, Daniel will explore what the next decade could hold for landfills as governments, industry and communities increasingly focus on waste-to-energy, resource recovery and circular economy outcomes. While the presentation won't be too serious, attendees can expect plenty of practical insights, industry observations and perhaps a few hidden nuggets of wisdom.
Daniel will cover:
- Why landfill capacity is becoming an increasingly scarce and valuable asset in Australia.
- The rise of waste-to-energy and what projects such as Kwinana and East Rockingham tell us about the opportunities and risks ahead.
- How landfill levies, regulation and social licence are reshaping the economics of waste disposal.
- What global waste management trends can teach Australia about a future beyond landfill.
- The emerging role of landfill gas, renewable energy, carbon markets and data centre energy demand.
- How AI and advanced monitoring technologies are changing landfill operations, compliance and environmental management.
The forecasts may be optimistic, the humour may be questionable, and the wisdom comes with no warranty.
