Australians are wasteful, producing 64 million tonnes, or 2.7 tonnes per person of waste in 2014-15, the most recent figures available, according to the National Waste Report. Most of that waste was from construction and demolition and commercial and industrial sources.

Episode 1: Tuesday, 24 July at 8.30pm on the ABC
