5 future trends that will shape Victoria's climate-resilient economy by 2030

SV is looking to the future of sustainability in Victoria

We’re unpacking the future trends that matter and spotlighting key opportunities for innovation and investment as we look to a future defined by our transition to a circular, climate-resilient economy.

By 2030, single-use will be a dirty word

Victorians are embracing re-use and the sharing economy to cut down on waste. As we seek to get the most value from our precious resources, things we use only once and throw away will become a thing of the past.

Learn more about re-use and the sharing economy

By 2030, food waste will be sliced in half

Powered by circular economy innovation and investment, our food and organic waste is on track to be sliced in half by 2030.

By 2030, our homes could help power the nation

Households across Victoria are becoming their own power plants as a renewable energy boom puts power back in the hands of communities.

By 2030, the fashion industry will be obsessed with sustainable practices

In the world of fashion, sustainability is the new black. From the spinning of fabrics in factories, to the finished garments on our backs, conscious consumers are demanding action – and the fashion industry is listening.

By 2030, doughnuts will be good for our health and wellbeing

Achieving these ‘doughnuts’ – or zeros in carbon emissions and waste – will be critical to our health and wellbeing as the world tackles climate change.
