ASPIRE Program
What is it?
The Advisory Stream for Process Innovation and Resource Exchange (ASPIRE) is an online marketplace for businesses wanting to buy, sell or trade unwanted materials and product. Through the platform businesses can reduce their waste disposal and costs, create new supply chains and generate new income for their business.

- Organics like soil, plants, and grass
- Paper, cardboard, and equipment
- Metals, both ferrous and non-ferrous
- Plastics
- Glass, including bottles and glassware
- Textiles, such as fabrics and garments
- Liquids, including oils, solvents, and fuels
- E-waste (electronic waste)
- Construction and demolition materials like concrete, bricks, and rubble
- Furniture
- Automotive tools and parts
- Wood and timber
