🏛️ Environmental penalties are no longer quietly disappearing into consolidated government revenue. EPA Victoria is directing a $1 million penalty from Veolia Recycling & Recovery into a dedicated Restorative Project Account.
Congratulations to @The University of Queensland for delivering a significant new open-source tool for Australian environmental planners. UQ researchers have published two high-resolution national datasets: the Human Industrial Footprint and the Ecological Intactness Index. Opera
💧 Microplastics and pharmaceuticals have officially entered the US EPA priority regulatory watch list for the first time. The draft Sixth Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 6) for drinking water now includes these two emerging contaminant groups.
🛑 Calling an operational change a “temporary trial” will not protect your facility from regulatory enforcement. The South Australian Environment Protection Authority has ordered a major fertiliser producer to immediately halt an unapproved pilot programme.
☀️ 250,000 end-of-life solar panels are about to become the foundational test case for managing Australia’s impending e-waste crisis. The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) has released a $24.7 million tender to establish a National Solar Panel Recycling Pilot.
We are approaching a tipping point where physical separation of forever chemicals will no longer be the default remediation strategy. For years, treating PFAS under the strict requirements of PFAS NEMP 3.0 has meant moving the problem from one place to another. Standard methods l

A $3.8 billion investment in automated environmental permitting has established a new benchmark for ecological assessments. On 31 March 2026, the Canadian Government launched its ‘A Force of Nature’ strategy to protect 30 per cent of its lands and waters by 2030.
🌊 Rising sea temperatures are chemically unlocking decades-old explosive residues. A new study from the University of Queensland has revealed a severe contamination legacy in the Solomon Islands.
Congratulations to Anita Doig and the team at WGA for award-winning research that challenges how we view laterite geology in northern Australia. Lateritic regolith profiles often look solid and impermeable. However, this recent work from Flinders University reveals the upper late
