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

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

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

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
