Michael Dudley has been appointed group chief executive officer of Big Bag Recovery (BBR) and Circular Communities Australia (CCA).
Dudley brings extensive senior leadership experience across government and the private sector in Australia and New Zealand, with a strong background in organisational development, commercial operations and strategic growth.
Notably, Dudley was part of the team involved in establishing BBR back in 2015, making his appointment something of a homecoming.
“As we enter our next phase of growth, Michael will lead the continued integration and expansion of BBR and CCA, strengthening our unique Australian circular economy model — connecting national product stewardship and resource recovery with domestic recycling, resin manufacturing and the return of recycled materials into Australian-made products,” the company said on social media.
“His appointment represents an important step in building the leadership capability, operational performance and commercial scale needed to deliver genuine circular economy outcomes for Australian industry.”
The Circular Communities Australia community is made up of Big Bag Recovery which includes bag importers, brand owners, consumers, collectors and collection points (businesses, councils and resellers); and Circular Communities Australia which includes manufacturers and users of new products made from 100 per cent recycled content.
