Improving the biosolids management sector, the Australian and New Zealand biosolids Partnership, 2007 - 2012
Annual Conference
❄
This paper examines the objectives and activities of the Australian and New Zealand Biosolids Partnership (ANZBP) during its five years of operation, 2007-2012, and explores its future direction and activities.
The relationship of the ANZBP’s activities and research achievements are described in this paper, as is its relevance to the future objectives of the partnership and the biosolids management industry. The ANZBP believes that many of the biosolids management issues faced by Australian members are similar to those in New Zealand, and that many of the lessons of its members are transferable between countries.
This paper also reviews the Australian Water Associations’ Biosolids Management Position Paper, developed in collaboration with the ANZBP, and will explore the activities of the ANZBP to encourage regulatory change in Australia and New Zealand.
