Building Australia’s organics future

In 2027, AORA turns its focus to the future, exploring the practical actions, partnerships and innovations needed to strengthen Australia’s organics recycling sector and cement its role in a sustainable, circular economy. Under the theme Building Australia’s organics future, the conference will examine what it takes to scale the sector, deliver measurable outcomes and position recycled organics at the heart of Australia’s environmental and economic agenda.

The AORA Annual Conference brings together processors, suppliers, researchers, policymakers, councils, consultants, technology providers, agronomists and end users from across Australia’s recycled organics industry. It remains the premier forum for sharing innovation, addressing operational challenges, strengthening industry collaboration and advancing the role of recycled organics in a sustainable future.

Building on the conversations of previous years, the 2027 program will explore the issues shaping the next chapter of the sector, from contamination management and carbon accounting to procurement policy, processing technology and end-market development. Delegates will hear from industry leaders, policymakers and technical experts as we examine how recycled organics can support agriculture, infrastructure, communities and environmental resilience.

Through keynote addresses, technical sessions, case studies and interactive panel discussions, the 2027 Conference will deliver practical insights and fresh perspectives for every part of the value chain, from emerging professionals taking their first steps in the industry to experienced operators driving large-scale change.
