Our mission

The mission of the Australian and New Zealand Biosolids Partnership is to support sustainable biosolids management.

ANZBP members consist of representatives from across the biosolids value chain including utilities, consultants, academics and government bodies, working together and committed to the sustainable management of biosolids.  We are committed to working together to create resources and form partnerships that help biosolids managers and users understand and respond effectively to the continuously changing social and regulatory environment.
