Re-valuing Workshop Wastes  - Survey & Opt in informal session to chat more

Murrang Earth Sciences / Science into Action for Agri Futures

This is an optional online session to talk with you about options to better manage workshop wastes if you have more input beyond the survey.

Please complete the survey and decide afterwards if you'd like to sign up for the optional informal chat about further thoughts or ideas that you have to better manage workshop wastes beyond what the survey asked. <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WorkshopWaste" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click here to take the survey.</a>We want to understand your needs related to workshop wastes, and have you tell us what your needs are. We’ll use this information, together with the information the government has provided, to figure out a path of least resistance to get rid of as much of your waste as possible with as little effort and as much gain as possible. What are workshop wastes?Workshop wastes are generated through light industrial activities on farms, in forests, and land-based fishery operations. We consider these wastes to include metal, chemicals, oil, batteries, and used timber, but not plastics or organics. What we would like from you…Managing wastes in cities is very different than managing wastes in the rural sector, but there's not a lot of information out there on how to help rural communities manage their waste in the most profitable way. We would like input from people who run or manage family-owned fishing, forestry or agricultural enterprises on the ground, as well as representatives of peak bodies to understand the extent of the workshop waste problems, and ensure any solutions developed are aligned with your needs. Basically, we need your input to make sure the solutions proposed can be readily used by the people who need them. You (i.e., people who run family-owned fishing, forestry or agricultural enterprises on the ground, as well as representatives of peak bodies), are invited to participate in a short couple of surveys (one now and one in December) and an optional informal chat on November 10th at 11am (Eastern Summer Time). The info from the survey and the online chat will be used to identify the priority waste problems, share ideas that work, and assess the feasibility of identified solutions. Based on your feedback, the workshop waste team will then dive in deep to fully assess the feasibility of different priority waste management options identified and discussed in the seminars. The outcome of this project will be a set of clear and feasible solutions for the effective management of workshop wastes generated as part of agricultural, fishery, and forestry activities. You will be invited to the final Webinar presenting the results in March 2022. So the first thing to do is the short survey:<a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WorkshopWaste" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click here to take the survey.</a>Who are we and what are we doing?Agrifutures Australia is running a program of work to support innovative ideas and options for the avoidance, recycling, and reuse of pre-farm gate waste, and ensure there is clear direction and coordination of activities for the sector to achieve the required change. <a href="https://www.murrang.com.au/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Murrang Earth Sciences</a> and <a href="https://www.scienceintoaction.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Science into Action</a>, along with sector experts, are investigating practical options for agriculture, fishery, and forestry communities to revalue and manage these workshop wastes. While we have our own expertise frankly, to develop useful and practical ways of managing workshop waste, we need to understand what concerns you and what you need . <aside>Image Credit: Bill Smith, CC BY 2.0 </aside>
