STRATEGIC THEME 4
Responsible consumption and production - City
We aim to establish a local economy where natural resources are valued and consumed within the limits in which they are created. We make and buy products that are durable and reusable, with minimal waste. Where waste is generated, it is used as a resource in the creation of new products.
Facilitate higher green building standards for new and retrofitted buildings to reduce City-wide energy, water and waste.

In co-operation with Hunter Joint Organisation develop and maintain a Material Flow Analysis of all unrecovered resource streams, and partner within industry and research institutions to identify high value and reprocessing options and business to progress a circular economy. Maintain specialist services for waste not collected in kerbside waste (garbage, recycling and greenwaste) pickup (including Chemical Clean Out, domestic sharps, mobile muster, oil, battery, and light globe recycling). Manage kerbside recycling and green waste contracts to maximise resource recovery and minimise waste to landfill. Promote waste services through a City-wide education campaign and development of resources.
