On 18 March, ASPI DC Director, Adam Leslie, hosted a roundtable with Australian and American industry leaders to discuss "whole of life" planning for green technology and manufacturing.

The conversation focused on how best to enable the green transition in a sustainable manner, to include waste byproducts; the pivotal role Australia can play in the industry, and the current policies and practices within Australia and the United States.

The discussion also covered how focusing on waste processing and storage now will ensure that Australia and its allies maintain their access to critical technology and resources that are vital to national security in the future.
