Held under the theme Aligning Industry with Purpose, the Symposium will bring together industry leaders, government, researchers and international market experts to examine the commercial, operational and policy issues shaping one of Australia's most important circular economy industries.
The three-day program has been designed to connect practical plant operations with the broader commercial and policy landscape.
The opening Industry Day will focus on operational excellence, with sessions covering odour and wastewater management, steam and hot water efficiency, workforce capability, environmental compliance and practical plant improvements.
The following two Symposium days will explore the broader forces influencing the industry:
- Global economic and commodity market trends
- International outlooks for protein meals, fats and oils
- Australia's emerging low-carbon liquid fuels market
- Renewable fuel policy, carbon intensity and feedstock demand
- The launch of the ARA Sustainability Framework
- Scope 3 emissions reporting and sustainability requirements
- International developments across the global rendering industry
- The future priorities of the World Renderers Organization
