Carbon abatement opportunities

The New South Wales EPA commissioned Marsden Jacob to identify opportunities to reduce carbon emissions through the use of low carbon recycled materials in construction and manufacturing.

Marsden Jacob’s Carbon Abatement Opportunities for Circular Economy report identified recycling and re-manufacturing opportunities that together have the potential to abate approximately 1.85 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year, while substantially reducing disposal of waste to landfill.

Published on the EPA website in February 2023, the Carbon Abatement Opportunities for Circular Economy report is available to download here.
