Table 2: Framework of the Victorian Market Development Strategy for Recovered Resources Purpose: To outline where state government may intervene to stimulate production industries and markets for recovered resources in Victoria by reducing barriers and supporting the right conditions for product markets to grow and mature. Vision: Victoria has an integrated, statewide approach to market development within the principles of a circular economy, which supports mature and expanding production industries and markets for recovered resources.
