I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals.

Years ago, we all talked about recycling and not dumping things down your drain and all of that, but talking doesn't help much. Basically, it's going to have to be legislation because the impact is so huge and diversified.

I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to it.

We have been getting ready to recycle more e-waste by investing in infrastructure, providing grants to local government and working with industry.

It's a national concern, I mean how we dispose of nuclear waste in a safe way, how we deal with this incredible amount of nuclear waste we have created over the years.

Recycling is an area where jobs could be created at low cost. Green collar workers. That's not very sexy.

The waste of plenty is the resource of scarcity.

Producing clean energy from non-recyclable waste is an important part of my future vision for family company Visy Australia.

My plumbing is all screwed up. Because it turns out, I do not own a garbage disposal.

We live in a disposable society. It's easier to throw things out than to fix them. We even give it a name - we call it recycling.
