Asbestos waste annual data update 2022-23
The Asbestos waste data in Australia – 2022-23 Annual Update infographic is now available on our website.
This year we are moving closer to an improved national picture of the quantity of asbestos waste. This is because most major states can now report quantities of packaged asbestos-containing material (ACM, such as asbestos cement sheets) separately from waste contaminated with ACM (such as soil and rubble).
ASSEA will now commence reporting on the two recording methods separately to provide a more accurate national picture, and to encourage further progress towards harmonised national asbestos waste recording methods.
To facilitate accurate monitoring of asbestos waste quantities, and to assist future infrastructure planning, ASSEA encourages states and territories to report wrapped ACM separately from soil and rubble contaminated with ACM.
