Message from Managing Director, Jens Goennemann
The countdown to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics has begun. As a nation, Australia ‘punches above its weight’ on the global stage at every Olympic Games. So, in 2020, I encourage all Australian manufacturers to have an ‘Olympic year’—to help develop a world-leading, dynamic, export-focused advanced manufacturing sector.
With ambitious goals for 2020, AMGC is here to help Australian manufacturers deliver their own Olympic performance.

Industry NewsSince China’s “National Sword” policy clamped down on recyclable imports in 2018, the world has been forced to pay more attention to where its waste winds up. Australia exported 619,000 tonnes of its waste to China in 2017, and the effective waste import ban has led to well-publicised complications in the local recycling industry. Other neighbours in the region have subsequently returned Australian waste, encouraging us to handle more smartly what we discard. |
