context_page_description: Waste management in Australia started to be implemented as a modern system by the second half of the 19th century, with its progresses driven by technological and sanitary advances. It is currently regulated at both federal and state level. The Commonwealth's Department of the Environment and Energy is responsible for the national legislative framework.
  The waste management has different effects and applications depending on the geographical, demographic and behavioural dynamics which it relates to. A number of reports and campaigns have been promoted.
  The system is undergoing a process. of reformation in order to establish a more consistent and circular economy-based legislation, a more reliable database and a stronger, more independent domestic industry. These factors have hampered the development of the industry and interstate relations.
context_section_description: Researches show that currently, in the world, there is enough to feed everyone, with about 3 billion people suffer from hunger or malnutrition. In Australia only, figures reach 3.6 millions.
  Projects against food wasting had developed throughout the country, with the aim to feed people in need via edible products that would have been otherwise discarded.
