Australia enjoys a proud reputation for excellence in environmental sciences, research and the development of innovative technologies and services. The Australian market for environmental goods and services is estimated at A$22 billion with a growth rate of 7 per cent per year1.


Australia has a number of demonstrated successes in a range of environmental industries including environmental and water-treatment nanotechnologies.


Research ranges from new forms of industrial absorbents to nano-engineered filters for wastewater and chemical streams, bio-degradable “plastics” and energy-efficient building materials.


With specialised industry capabilities, professional services, and government support, combined with our close proximity to Asia, Australia is ideally positioned as an excellent location for environmental operations.
