This paper was commissioned by EcoRecycle Victoria as a contribution to the development of their strategy 'Towards Zero Waste' in 2003. It provides an overview of some of the sustainability strategy and evaluates the implications of the sustainability debate to the conventional waste hierarchy of 'reduce, reuse, recycle, recover'.
