What happens when bold organics mandates meet real world infrastructure gaps? Tony Chappel, CEO, NSW EPA joins us to unpack the risks, realities, and opportunities behind NSW’s FOGO rollout. This episode covers that and so much more. From what good leadership looks like, to ridiculous packaging, to who’s really moving the needle in circularity.
What is FOGO?
FOGO stands for Food Organics and Garden Organics. It’s a separate bin system for collecting food scraps and garden waste so they can be composted or regenerated instead of being sent to landfill. The goal is to cut harmful emissions, recover valuable nutrients, and support a more circular waste system.
The Draft NSW Waste and Circular Infrastructure Plan is open for feedback for one more week.
Now’s the time to help shape how we build the systems we actually need.
