Antarctic Treaty (Environment Protection) (Waste Management) Regulations 1994.

The Regulations aim at the prevention of pollution and make provision for the removal of waste in the Antarctic. The stated objectives of these Regulations are: (a) to assist in implementing Australia's obligations under Annex III to the Madrid Protocol; and (b) to provide for the management of waste generated in connection with activities in the Antarctic to which the Annex does not apply (reg. 2).
The 21 regulations are divided into 3 Parts: Preliminary (1); Waste management (2); Compliance with waste management requirements (3). Part 2 is divided into 7 divisions: Planning and conducting waste management (1); Storage of waste (2); Removal of waste (3); Disposal of waste by incineration (4); Limits on disposal of waste on land (5); Disposal of sewage and domestic liquid waste into the sea (6); Cleaning up (7).
As for prevention of pollution, regulation 3 states that a person planning or carrying on an activity in the Antarctic must: (a) incorporate, in the planning, measures for: (i) minimizing the amount; and (ii) recycling; and (iii) safe storage; and (iv) removal; and (v) disposal; of waste associated with the activity; and (b) incorporate, in the planning, all reasonable measures for avoiding the use of poly-vinyl chloride products in the Antarctic; and (c) in carrying on the activity, take all reasonable steps to minimize the amount of waste generated or disposed of in the Antarctic.
