Invest in materials and infrastructure
Victoria’s dynamic circular economy, waste and resource recovery sector is full of opportunities for investment. Victoria generates substantial waste streams that can be reprocessed back into their raw materials for remanufacturing, or increasingly they are turned into new commercially viable products. Developing ‘end markets’ continues to be a priority for government, supported by SV’s programs targeting dedicated investment in research and development, and commercialisation pathways for products made from recovered materials.
Victoria’s Big build is further supporting this sector through the Recycled First policy. We offer a Buy Circular Service to promote use of recycled materials and products in infrastructure, landscaping, parks and gardens.

Waste streams data
Victoria’s waste streams can be broadly split into 3 main categories:
- Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), also known as kerbside waste - includes waste from households and councils.
- Commercial and Industrial (C&I).
- Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste.
‘Recycling Victoria’ provides strategic leadership for the waste and recycling sector. They are responsible for providing waste and recycling data, intelligence, and insights for use by Victoria's waste, recycling and resource recovery sector, businesses, government, and the community.
For more information on recycling infrastructure opportunities, refer to the Victorian Recycling Infrastructure Plan.
Head to the Recycling Victoria Data Hub to interact with, view and download Victoria’s waste projection model and kerbside waste data. You can also learn about recycling markets as well as issues and opportunities concerning resource recovery in Victoria.
