The Australian Sustainable Business Group (ASBG) has responded to the EPA’s Amendments To The Raw Mulch Exemption 2008, The Food Waste Exemption 2009 & The Food Waste Compost Exemption 2008. ASBG is concerned the Liquid Food Waste Resource Recovery Exemption is very risk adverse and is not practical or workable in its current form. It sets much tighter environmental standards than used for spray irrigation of effluent, which can contain far higher contaminate levels than liquid food waste does. ASBG recommends the EPA undertake consultation with the industry sector using these exemptions and appropriate experts to develop a more practical set of exemptions than those proposed.
