Driving Sustainability Through Innovative Resource Exchange
This strategic partnership helps businesses reduce waste, lower costs, and create value from surplus materials by connecting them with others who can reuse or repurpose these resources.
At Procurement Australia, we’re committed to a sustainable procurement future that benefits our customers, suppliers, and the planet.
A key part of this commitment is our partnership with ASPIRE, an innovative online tool that facilitates material resource exchange, supporting Australian businesses and councils in transforming waste into valuable resources.
What is ASPIRE?
The ASPIRE program (Advisory System for Process Innovation and Resource Exchange) connects businesses with innovative circular economy solutions.
As waste disposal costs rise and pressure mounts to reduce landfill emissions, ignoring the end-of-life impact of resources is neither cost-effective nor responsible. ASPIRE, an online matchmaking tool, facilitates the exchange of materials that would otherwise be discarded, turning waste into value by connecting businesses.
