What are Victoria's recycling targets for businesses?

Victoria's statewide recycling targets are policy objectives, not a universal diversion quota for each business. Waste duties, permits and contracts also need separate consideration.

What to check

1. Distinguish a tender or lease requirement from the state policy target.
2. Establish a baseline using actual quantities and destinations over a defined period.
3. Report reuse, recycling, organics treatment and landfill separately.
4. Keep contractor records and state whether weights are measured or estimated.

Source context

The implementation plan includes 80% landfill diversion, 15% less waste per person and halving organics sent to landfill by 2030. Household organics access is a separate target. Victorian Government: Victorian Government Implementation Plan 2025.
