Strategy
Increase Landfill Levies
Re-Invest
Policy Drivers
![Page 4: Impacts of the HazWaste Fund on Hazardous Waste in Victoria](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815f50550346895dce2c65/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Increased Landfill Levies
• Category A: banned from landfill
• Category B: $250/tonne
• Category C: $70/tonne
• Levy administered by EPA Victoria
![Page 5: Impacts of the HazWaste Fund on Hazardous Waste in Victoria](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815f50550346895dce2c65/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Policy Drivers
• Review of the regulations• Prescribed Industrial Waste (PIW) defined by
hazard, not a list• Focus on resource efficiency, enhancing reuse
& recycling• Reduced administrative burden associated with
reuse and recycling
