The final #WorldSoilDayWA session tomorrow will look at how we can re-evaluate and recycle resources to minimise waste and create new opportunities for our soil in doing so 💬 We look forward to seeing those who have registered tomorrow! (This in-person-only event is sold out).

Very impressed by my visit to the WA @ChemCentre, and the briefings received on the chemistry services it provides to government, industry and research clients. The oldest accredited testing facility in Australia, it has a long history of quality air, water and soil analysis.
