TELL THE GOVERNMENT TO DITCH SINGLE-USE

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

This year, we have a critical opportunity to tackle wasteful packaging.

We’ve built a powerful national movement of activists, NGOs, associations, governments, and businesses committed to ending plastic pollution. Now, we have a small window to push for major policy changes, and we need your help to amplify the call.

Australia’s waste crisis is escalating due to weak regulations and industry failures. Together, we can change the tide on single-use plastics by introducing strong Product Stewardship Policies in Australia.

1.2 million tonnes of plastic packaging becomes waste each year.
