However, they identified that additional infrastructure capacity would be required to support the Victorian Government ewaste landfill ban. This is discussed further in Section 5.14 . Reprocessing capacity Achieving greater recovery of materials from our waste and resource recovery system relies on many factors, as discussed throughout the SWRRIP. One factor is having adequate capacity to reprocess the recovered materials into materials and products that can be used productively. Table 210 summarises the gaps in reprocessing capacity identified in Regional Implementation Plans. These are discussed in more detail in Section 6.6. Note that the geographical location of new or existing infrastructure to meet capacity gaps will depend on where sufficient aggregation can be achieved to support viable recovery. The materials may flow from the region that identified the gap to a reprocessor in another region. This movement of materials is discussed in more detail in Section 4.9 Table : Gaps in reprocessing capacity identified in Regional Implementation Plans over the next 10 years Material stream Waste and resource recovery region
