Overview

The Source Separated Organic Waste method 2016 will sunset on 1 April 2026. Once the method sunsets, no new projects will be able to be registered unless the method is re-made.

At the request of the Assistant Minister for Climate Change and Energy, the Emissions Reduction Assurance Committee (the ERAC) is undertaking a review of the merits of remaking the Source Separated Organic Waste method 2016. As part of this review the ERAC is seeking the views of stakeholders on the possible remaking of the method.

The ERAC’s advice will inform a decision by the Assistant Minister on whether to remake the method.
