‘Australia's national resource recovery rate in 2022–23 was 66%. This comprised 63% recycling, 0.2% waste reuse and 3% energy recovery, mostly associated with the use of landfill gas for generating electricity.’ Source: Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water website - Resource recovery and waste materials analysis.
