Sustainable Development Goals

THE VALUE OF WASTE TO A BIGGER OBJECTIVE

With less than a decade left to meet the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, we understand that the next eight years will be critical in making the world a more sustainable place. ResourceCo is committed to delivering the UNSDGs and understanding the impact of the industry in delivering their global goals.

As a global leader in waste recycling and a pioneer in delivering carbon abatement, ResourceCo is committed to supporting Net Zero aspirations of organisations across Australia. We continue to work with them on shared goals for greener supply chains by decarbonising through credible carbon transition plans.

With over 30 years of experience and 60 million tonnes of materials repurposed, we have a lot to give in this sustainability transformation as we progress a circular economy. Post COVID-19, there is renewed hope and opportunity to reboot our economy and make profound changes to recover, in a way that prioritises sustainable development and the delivery of the SDGs.
