SUMMARY:CSIRO Webinar: From data to action: new insights into Australia's circular economy
DESCRIPTION:This event will bring together the latest research\, state experience\, and national policy to explore what Australia’s first comprehensive circular economy metrics mean for how we plan\, implement\, and measure progress towards a circular economy. \nYou’ll hear from: \n\nCSIRO presenting key insights from Australia’s first sub-national material flow and circularity accounts\, covering all states and territories from 2010 to 2024\, including what the data reveals about material demand\, waste\, emissions\, and circularity performance across every jurisdiction.\nPolicymakers from South Australia and Victoria sharing their firsthand experience of using circular economy metrics in the policy process\, including what works\, what’s hard\, and what the new data can contribute.\nThe Australian Department of Climate Change\, Energy\, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) on why robust metrics are essential for national circular economy planning and implementation\, and how this new evidence base fits within Australia’s broader circular economy framework.

SUMMARY:Critical Minerals & Tailings Monthly Webinar (MRIWA)
DESCRIPTION:The transition towards a circular and low-carbon economy requires innovative and integrated approaches to secure the supply of critical raw materials (CRMs). This presentation will focus on the development of advanced process routes for CRM recovery from primary and secondary resources\, while ensuring the valorisation of all process streams across the value chain. The work covers a holistic approach that integrates resource pre-treatment\, hydrometallurgical processing\, separation and refining steps\, as well as the treatment and reuse of process waters. Particular emphasis is placed on the design of sustainable and efficient recovery strategies that maximise resource efficiency\, reduce chemical consumption\, and minimise waste generation. \nThe use case presented is centred on lithium extraction from spodumene as a representative primary resource. This case demonstrates a validated TRL 5 process concept for sustainable lithium recovery\, combining selective processing strategies with integrated residue management. In addition to lithium production\, the approach enables the valorisation of the remaining solid residues\, contributing to a more circular and resource-efficient flowsheet. \nAlthough the case study focuses on lithium\, the developed methodologies are transferable to other critical raw materials and are aligned with the increasing need for more sustainable mining and processing practices. Overall\, the presentation highlights how integrated process design can bridge efficiency\, sustainability\, and circularity in primary CRM production systems.

SUMMARY:GRDC NGN Agricultural Connectivity Out-of-the-Box
DESCRIPTION:Growers across all three GRDC regions report operating in “digital darkness”\, limiting their ability to use telematics\, automation\, and data-driven tools. More than half of growers surveyed by Grain Producers Australia cited connectivity and digital literacy gaps as core reasons for delaying investment in digital technology and automation. \nThe NGN Grains Adopt Online Workshop is a free\, two-session webinar delivered by Connected Farms as part of the GRDC NGN funded Agriculture Connectivity Out-of-the-Box program — providing practical\, independent guidance to help growers and agronomists get connected. \n\nSession 1 — Understanding Connectivity (50 min) What connectivity means for grain farming\, what technology options exist\, and how to assess your situation.\nSession 2 — Choosing & Implementing the Right Solution (50 min) How to select\, deploy\, and integrate the right connectivity solution for your farm and machinery systems.\n\nAttendees will gain the capability and confidence to implement fit-for-purpose connectivity solutions\, improve digital tool reliability\, and support progress towards automation. Agronomists can become endorsed connectivity advisors.
