About Green Industries SA

Green Industries SA is an enabler and driver of change, supporting development of the circular economy through diverse collaborations and partnerships which improve productivity, resilience, resource efficiency and the environment.

Our role:

  • Keeping South Australia at the forefront of green innovation in the waste, recycling and resource recovery sectors
  • Delivering reduced waste to landfill and increasing the State’s capacity for recycling
  • Building the State’s capability and resilience in the area of disaster waste management

We are helping businesses to implement sustainable resource efficiency measures and increase productivity; we are funding innovations which will create new jobs in the waste and recycling sector for solutions to growing problematic new waste streams; and we are undertaking leading-edge work in the areas of disaster waste management, circular economy leadership education and waste infrastructure planning for the next 30 years.

Our work has been recognised internationally, with our expertise sought by other jurisdictions nationally and internationally.
