FWR Symposium 2025

The Waste Recycling Industry Association Queensland (WRIQ) takes great pleasure in inviting you to our 2025 Future Waste Resources Symposium from 12 - 14 February 2025 at the Sea World Conference Centre on the Gold Coast.

Our waste recycling industry contains dedicated people with a combined thousands of years’ experience pioneering waste recycling in Queensland, interstate and overseas. Engage with Queensland’s waste industry leaders, local governments and State Government to identify practical solutions to Queensland’s waste and recycling challenges.

Following the release of the Queensland Government’s Waste Management and Resource Recovery Strategy (the Strategy) in July 2019, early results post implementation of the Strategy show that continued action is needed to achieve Queensland’s waste reduction goals and targets.

This unique conference brings together the resource recovery industry, government, manufacturing, businesses and the community to examine and develop strategies that improve waste management and resource recovery through collective action. At the core of this event are real-life, practical solutions addressing systemic issues that are holding the industry back from becoming a key player in Queensland’s economic future.

We invite you to take part in the Future Waste Resources Symposium to examine the necessary processes required to advance the industry and develop much closer and more collaborative relationships between industry and government.
