The Australian Government is actively exploring the most effective ways to reform our packaging regulations, aiming to reduce waste, combat pollution, and support a circular economy.
A core focus is making producers accountable for the waste they generate, a critical step that will help drive down pollution and promote sustainable practices.
This moment presents an unprecedented opportunity to push for meaningful change in Australia’s packaging landscape and champion a cleaner, greener future.
Making producers responsible means they:
-
Avoid and reduce packaging in the first place
-
Design packaging that can be easily reused, composted or recycled
-
Cover the full costs of collecting and recovering their packaging.
As we’re rapidly approaching a critical decision point, please join us in calling for comprehensive legislation to turn the tide on waste and plastic pollution.

Australia is the second largest consumer of single-use plastic packaging in the world, and we only recycle 18% of it. It’s time for change.
