      Hi,

      I know that Saibai Island previously burned waste but stopped due to health concerns. However, I’m wondering if they have made any other attempts at reducing waste through other initiatives.

      Thank you.

        Hi Derek,

        Yes, they stopped burning waste a few years ago. At the moment, whatever’s written on the design brief is what they are currently doing to manage waste. To our knowledge, TSIRC has pending grant applications to address their waste problems on a larger scale. You can read more details on their website.

        I hope this helps.

        Regards,
        Jean
