Adobe AI Assistant 2024-12-06, quick summary:
"The document outlines the CSIRO Waste Management Research Strategy, developed by a Taskforce chaired by Dr. Tom Spurling. The strategy aims to address waste management issues in Australia by focusing on liquid, solid, and gaseous wastes from industrial, agricultural, and domestic sources. Key objectives include developing a framework for waste management research, identifying and prioritizing critical issues, and exploring opportunities for CSIRO to address these issues through current and prospective research.
The strategy emphasizes the importance of research in waste management, noting the potential for economic and environmental benefits. It highlights the need for an integrated approach, involving collaboration across different CSIRO divisions and with external partners. The document also details various research projects and funding allocations for 1991/92 and 1992/93, covering areas such as wool scouring, plasma waste treatment, and effluent-irrigated plantations.
Overall, the strategy aims to strengthen coordination and focus in CSIRO's waste management research to maximize returns for Australia, addressing significant problems and ensuring effective exploitation of research outcomes. "
