Queensland Organics Strategy 2022-2032
The Queensland Organics Strategy 2022–2032 and Queensland Organics Action Plan 2022–2032 collectively provide the overarching framework and sequence of actions to:
- avoid the generation of food waste
- improve the end-use management of organic resources that can’t be avoided.
The Organics Strategy sets targets that by 2030, Queensland will:
- halve the amount of food waste generated
- divert 80% of the organic material generated from landfill
- achieve a minimum organics recycling rate of 70%.
