Beyond the Bin with Gayle Sloan, CEO, WMRR - Why Australia Needs to Rethink Consumption, Production & Waste
In this episode, industry leader Gayle Sloan joins Kate Dryden and Justin Frank for an unfiltered conversation about Australia's resource recovery challenges — and how real change starts before the bin. From the politics of standardised legislation to the uncomfortable truth about overconsumption, Gayle calls out Australia's global reputation as one of the most wasteful nations and explains why we need systemic shifts in production, design, and how we measure success.
Key Topics Covered:
* Why harmonising waste systems at the start matters
* The missing conversation on overproduction and hazardous materials
* Australia's consumption footprint — "5 planets compared to 2 in the UK"
* The circular economy gap: how extraction fuels emissions
* Batteries, fires, and the hidden risks in waste facilities
* Celebrating businesses leading on closed-loop systems
* Why carbon, materiality, and resilience are all connectedI
