The need for national packaging reform is paramount.
ACOR, @APCO & @BoomAlliance are calling on @AustralianGovernment to deliver a nationally consistent EPR scheme that supports Australian recycling and keeps valuable materials out of landfill.

Packaging reform could cut plastic waste by 370,000 tonnes a year, support almost 20,000 jobs and generate $2.5 billion in economic activity. Australia cannot afford further delay.

2. Australian plastic recyclers are operating at around 50% capacity. Mandatory #packagingreform would drive demand for Australian recycled content and protect local jobs, investment and manufacturing.

@ajamesbragg
Australia has the capacity to recycle more plastic, but plants remain underutilised while 1 million tonnes of plastic packaging goes to landfill each year. Firm timelines for mandatory #packagingreform are needed.

@MurrayWatt
More than one million tonnes of plastic packaging is landfilled each year while domestic recyclers remain underutilised. @ausgov must set firm timeframes and deliver the mandatory promised packaging reforms to avoid plant closures bit.ly/4pKLInf

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
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

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.

The @ozprodcom is clear: the @ausgov must publish its proposed packaging reforms without delay to maintain momentum and confidence.

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.

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
