ACOR renews board, welcomes new president

Refreshed board will focus on ACOR’s policy platform, ensuring resource recovery, recycling and remanufacturing play a leading role in Australia’s circular economy.

The Australian Council of Recycling (ACOR) has welcomed a renewed board, including the appointment of Downer’s Michael Jackson as president.

Jackson takes the leadership reins from Peter Tamblyn who has served as ACOR president since 2019, and has been the driving force behind many of the organisation’s  initiatives, including an accreditation program for recyclers and Recycle Mate.  Tamblyn will remain as a director on the board.

Jackson is general manager – strategic development of Downer’s road services business. Jackson has been on the ACOR board since June 2021 and has been a key contributor during this time with his background in strategy and recycling markets.

Three new members to the board include Elizabeth Kasell from RED Group, Nerida Mortlock from SmarterLite and Nathan Lopez from Global Renewables – whilst ACOR farewells Envirobank’s Narelle Anderson, who will be stepping down after six years of service. Anderson had previously served as board secretary.

ACOR’s vice president, David Singh, and treasurer Jim Fairweather, have been re-appointed, along with current members of the board.

According to the association, the refreshed board will have a focus on driving ACOR’s policy platform, ensuring resource recovery, recycling and remanufacturing play a leading role in Australia’s circular economy.
