Australian Council of Recycling

ACOR has released a new paper outlining clear triggers for when product stewardship and #EPR schemes should apply.Intervention must be proportionate, evidence-based and address genuine market failure — without disrupting #recycling markets. tinyurl.com/sv6cazav

@BoomAlliance highlights that stakeholders across industry and civil society are united in calling for a mandatory national #ProductStewardshipScheme for packaging.bit.ly/4qVJGAs @ozprodcom

@BoomAlliance is clear: delaying #packagingreform delays jobs, resource savings and #environmental gains. @ozprodcom says publish reforms now. bit.ly/4qVJGAs #CircularEconomy #ResourceRecovery #PolicyReform

There’s broad agreement: community groups, recyclers and industry all point to the same fix — packaging reform.With packaging driving most litter, better design, recovery and recycled content are essential. tinyurl.com/39pneeaw #CircularEconomy #ResourceRecovery

When almost 60% of litter is packaging, it’s not behaviour, it’s system design. #CleanUpAustralia is calling for urgent packaging reform, soft plastics stewardship and stronger CDS. Voluntary approaches aren’t enough. tinyurl.com/39pneeaw #NationalPackagingReform

Litter clean-ups reveal what’s slipping through: soft plastics and packaging dominate Australia’s litter. Prevention beats clean-up. Stronger packaging reform and producer responsibility can stop waste before it starts.tinyurl.com/39pneeaw #PackagingReform #SoftPlastics

New data from #CleanUpAustralia shows soft plastics = 30.5% of litter and packaging = nearly 60%. Packaging is Australia’s biggest litter driver. Urgent #NationalPackagingReform is needed to cut waste at the source. tinyurl.com/39pneeaw #CircularEconomy #PlasticPackaging

The @ozprodcom delivered its #CircularEconomy report months ago, but #NationalPackagingReform remains stalled. @BoomAlliance says continued delay and mixed signals are unacceptable. tinyurl.com/k2ayzpsk #CircularEconomy #ResourceRecovery #PolicyReform

The @ozprodcom is clear: the @ausgov must publish its proposed packaging reforms without delay to maintain momentum and confidence. tinyurl.com/yeyrbc2y @BoomAlliance #PackagingReform #CircularEconomy #ResourceRecovery #PolicyReform

Councils are doing their part, but they can’t fix systemic packaging problems alone. #ALGA is calling on the @ausgov to show leadership and deliver #NationalPackagingReform that supports councils and #recycling. shorturl.at/2sObi @ALGAcomms

Uncertainty in packaging regulation puts pressure on #recycling services and risks more waste going to landfill. #ALGA says strong, nationally consistent packaging reform is needed now to give certainty across the system. shorturl.at/2sObi @ALGAcomms

Local government plays a vital role in #recycling, but councils can’t mandate recyclable packaging or recycled content. Only national action can do that. #ALGA is calling for mandatory #NationalPackagingReform now. shorturl.at/2sObi @ALGAcomms

Local councils carry the burden of packaging waste, but don’t control how packaging is designed or sold. #ALGA is urging the @ausgov to deliver nationally consistent #PackagingReform to reduce pressure on local services. shorturl.at/2sObi @ALGAcomms

Local councils are on the frontline of Australia’s #packaging waste problem, managing growing volumes with little control over packaging design. #ALGA is calling for urgent National #PackagingReform so producers take responsibility. shorturl.at/2sObi

ACOR welcomes NSW & SA expanding #ContainerDepositScheme to include wine & spirit bottles from 2027 . More high-quality #GlassRecycling = lower emissions, energy savings & local jobs. lnkd.in/gvVfZ8c5

The Australian Resources Recovery Council (#ARRC) is seeking a visionary CEO to spearhead its mission of transforming waste into valuable resources. lnkd.in/g-6N3-7Y

Australia’s #smartenergy, #battery, #recycling and #waste sectors are united in urging #Environment and #Energy Ministers to fast-track a mandatory battery producer responsibility scheme covering all battery chemistries and battery-powered products. bit.ly/3Uoovsq
