The department has commissioned analysis of international trade data related to Australia’s exports of waste. Produced by Blue Environment using data supplied by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the analysis covers the amount of waste exported from Australia by waste type, place of export and country of destination, in value ($) and volume (tonnage) terms.
The annual summaries compile and analyse the data for 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22. The monthly summaries update the analysis with the most recent data available.
Note that this data is subject to revision and should be used with caution.
