The Emerging Priority - Hub Indigenous Project initiative seeks to extract invasive native and introduced plant species from landscapes to aid in environmental restoration and preservation. Additionally, the initiative involves the collection of bio-waste and plastics from these areas.
Why?
The objective of the Plant and Plastic Wastes in Regional and Remote Communities project is to redirect this bio-waste away from incineration and towards utilisation as a valuable remanufacturing resource to support culturally informed land management and ecological repair. The initial phase of the program intends to assist various local communities by conducting feasibility studies for potential harvesting programs that tie land management opportunities with social enterprise. This initial phase will include the harvesting of samples and examination of their properties.
