Business and Employment Opportunities From Waste Minimisation
The Ministry, jointly with the Ministry of Economic Development, commissioned
a report from URS and NZIER on the business and employment opportunities
provided by waste minimisation.
An alternative perspective and data on employment opportunities being
generated in New Zealand in zero waste council jurisdictions is available
from the Zero Waste New Zealand Trust: Zero
Waste Council Report (PDF 70 KB).
Neither report necessarily reflects the views of the Ministry for the
Environment.
