Green Industries South Australia

Green Industries SA is leading South Australia’s transition to a circular economy to grow our economic prosperity, improve and sustain our environment and increase our wellbeing.

The circular economy is a ‘must-have’ as the current ‘take-make-dispose economy’ is unsustainable, anyway you look at it. A circular economy is a world where we use less natural and raw materials, keep products in use longer and design out waste and pollution.

Green Industries SA is driving the circular economy through strategic planning and policy, legislation, incentives and education to ensure resources circulate more within the state’s economy and that we operate with best practice in resource recovery and remanufacturing.
