External trade Exhibition—guided tour / barbecue

The Waste and Recycle 2007 Conference has made arrangements for an External Trade Exhibition venue to be located on the car park diagonally opposite to the Esplanade Hotel (the Conference venue). This External Trade Exhibition is primarily aimed at providing delegate with the opportunity to view a showcase of larger items of plant and equipment that have relevance to the waste management industry.

The External Trade Exhibition venue will be open from Tuesday to Friday with particular emphasis on the External Trade Exhibition venue being on Wednesday.

In essence this is a ‘big toys’ exhibition!

Zero Waste Plan Development Scheme: How, What, Where and Why?

The Zero Waste Plan (ZWP) Development Scheme is the latest initiative by the State Government to promote strategic waste management planning for local government. The Scheme aims to assist local government in aligning to the State’s vision of Towards Zero Waste. Significant financial incentives are also available to encourage a regional approach to the waste management challenges facing local government.

The outcomes of this scheme will also be a valuable tool for State Government. Through the ZWP Development Scheme, the State will be able to better assess the strategic issues which affect local government’s ability to manage waste effectively.

The first phase of the Scheme was one of data collection. This phase set out to establish what was known about the various waste streams directly managed by local government. The second phase of the Scheme will soon be underway, with local governments writing strategic waste management plans.

This workshop will assist those writing ZWP’s by providing an overview of how to write the plans, what should be in them, where they can be used and why it would be advantageous for local governments to undertake the process.

Alternative Waste Treatment Facilities Tour

with afternoon tea sponsored by South Metropolitan Regional Council

First up delegates will inspect AnaeCo’s pilot in-vessel DiCom plant at Jandakot. This is the prototype of the full scale plant about to be constructed at the WMRC’s Brockway Waste Transfer Station in Shenton Park. A short coach journey northward and delegates will tour the SMRC’s Regional Resource Recovery Centre in Canning Vale. These are two examples of alternative waste treatment options being utilised to address Perth’s solid waste stream.

Capral Aluminium Tour

with afternoon tea sponsored by Capral Aluminium

Introduction

Capral Aluminium produces a comprehensive range of extruded products for industrial and architectural applications, such as windows, doors and balustrades for residential and commercial buildings, specialised automotive parts, marine products, and geometric shapes. These extrusions are produced either with surface finishing (such as anodising or powder coating) or with mill finish. Capral Aluminium also produces semi-fabricated extrusions for particular purposes through our value adding processes.

Tour Information

Extrusion—The extrusion process basically involves pushing a hot cylindrical billet of aluminium through a shaped die forming a continuous length of uniform cross-section. The extruded length is then heat treated to establish desired mechanical properties for its specific end use.

Powder coating—Extrusions can be provided with a surface finish through the powder coating process. The process consists of 3 stages—pre-treatment, paint and cure. Pre-treatment involves preparing the surface for paint application by passing the aluminium lengths through dilute cleaning and surface conversion chemicals. Paint is applied via a bank of electrostatic spray guns prior to the painted lengths being passed through an oven to cure the coating.
