Statement of Strategic Direction for Waste Management in Western Australia 2004/2005 Priorities
Highlights priority waste products for the 2004/05 year, which are considered generally still relevant. These focus areas are where there are waste products accumulating, which are not being prevented, which have few options for recovery, which are potentially harmful to the environment on disposal and therefore require action.
