With several projects under way, the state also needs to develop markets for its recycled products in pursuit of a circular economy.

The East Rockingham Waste to Energy project has won a public tender to process residual waste from the Western Metropolitan Regional Council.

An ambitious waste recycling project using technology developed by ASX-listed AnaeCo and jointly built by contactor Monadelphous Group has gone into administration.

Monadelphous Group and AnaeCo's long-delayed waste treatment plant in Shenton Park has finally been given a completion date, with a short list of tasks to be finished by mid-April.

Three waste-to-energy projects have received environmental approval, while the state government has increased landfill levies.

The operator of a waste treatment plant developed in Perth's western suburbs with support from Monadelphous Group has been told it will no longer run the plant following the disclosure of further delays and warnings of increased costs.

Engineering company Monadelphous Group has provided its joint venture partner AnaeCo with a $4.6 million loan facility to help fund the remaining cost of the company's WMRC project in Shenton Park.

AnaeCo director Ian Campbell has lost control of his 6.5 per cent stake in the waste treatment company after the shares were used as security for separate loans.

The waste sector is hopeful the state government will release a waste policy next year ending a policy vacuum in this essential service sector.

THE peak body representing regional councils has called on the state government to clarify its long-term strategic vision for waste management.
