Failure to ratify the EU trade deal would cost Australia far more than beef Original
Australia and the European Union agreed on a comprehensive free-trade agreement (FTA) in March, after nearly eight years negotiating and much political rancour. The agreement abolishes almost all bilateral tariffs, covering 98% of Australian goods exports and broadens our export base at a time of high US tariffs. Seven months on, the fight has moved to Canberra. Although the government signed the treaty, parliament must pass the laws required to give it effect, such as changing tariff schedules.
As global trade rules falter, how can Australia protect itself from economic coercion?
The United States was once a champion of fair trade rules. Now, it has transformed into a rampaging Viking seeking extortionate tributes. This shift means America now uses its power to pressure even its closest allies, threatening to withdraw military protection while hitting them with punishing trade tariffs. Australia depends on America for its security, yet we’re increasingly vulnerable to American economic pressure.
Why Australia’s trade deal with Europe hinges on a forgotten promise - and a handshake
Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell is in Brussels this week, trying to close a trade deal that has been nearly a decade in the making. The EU–Australia Free Trade Agreement is tantalisingly close, although EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen has yet to confirm a visit to Australia to seal the deal.

Is Trump Winning His Trade War With Asia?

As US tariffs kick in, Trump may have won many battles but lost the war

So far, the inflationary impact has been less than many predicted.

How a Circular Approach to Waste Management Will Help Your Business
<< back to Retail By Nathan Gray, Head of Sustainability at Reconomy With new UK packaging waste regulations now in full force and fixed penalty fines for those failing to meet their legal obligations, the concept of a circular economy has gained significant traction.
Simple circular waste management solutions can accelerate the greening of engineering and construction | New Civil Engineer
Worth more than £110bn per annum and contributing 7% of the United Kingdom’s GDP, the construction industry accounts for approximately 3M jobs or 10% of total UK employment. But with great productivity comes great waste. The construction sector creates on estimate a third of the world’s waste with 100 billion tonnes of raw material extracted per year.
Loop Recycling: How to Implement in Business
With many businesses rushing to consider their environmental impact, closed-loop recycling should be a process high up on the agenda. This is defined as the process by which a product is used, recycled, and then made into a new product if it can’t be reused in the first instance. The process results in no waste going for energy recovery or landfill.
Ways Businesses Can Reduce Waste This Christmas
When it comes to producing waste, the festive season is one of the most prominent periods, with the amount generated increasing by 30% compared to the rest of the year. This is especially true for retail businesses, as you’ll more than likely have more stock coming in for clamouring customers, in turn leaving you with mountains of boxes and leftover stock that could go to waste. So, what can be done to ensure you are conscious and aware of the waste we accumulate around the festive period?
Carbon Emissions
The days when waste could simply be buried in the ground and forgotten about are gone – it’s no longer ‘out of sight, out of mind’. Accordingly, legislation such as the UK’s newly imposed plastic tax (since April 2022), will increasingly be geared towards minimising waste, reducing carbon emissions, protecting natural resources and incorporating recycled content in products.
