strategy\nThe vision of the draft strategy is:\n•• To create a sustainable future, focusing on the value of materials in a circular economy and providing\neconomic, social and environmental benefits\nThe objectives are:\n•• Continue South Australia’s leadership in waste management and resource recovery, and accelerate our\ntransition to a circular economy\n•• Use our natural resources more efficiently, focusing on sectors that use the most resources and where\npotential for circularity is high\n•• Support business sustainability and grow circular economy businesses and jobs\n•• Reduce waste and pollution and regenerate natural systems\n•• Create a circular economy culture and enable sustainable consumption choices\nThe draft strategy builds on the previous strategy Supporting a circular economy: South Australia’s Waste Strategy\n Source: `strategies/consultation-summary-report-circular-economy-strategy-2025-2030.pdf (https://www.greenindustries.sa.gov.au/documents/consultation-summary-report-circular-economy-strategy-2025-2030.pdf)`\n- Key changes\nExpanding actions and content on regional SA and restructuring the action list to clarify the actions that apply\nto certain South Australian regions, and those that are statewide\nAdding two new actions to support achieving the kerbside contamination targets\nSplitting an action in focus areas 1 regarding supporting businesses into separate waste reduction and waste\ndiversion actions, and moving the waste diversion action to focus area
