AUSSIES ARE FED UP. HERE’S HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED
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.
​
Key Facts:
-
Each Australian produces 2,280 kg of waste annually.
-
1.2 million tonnes of plastic packaging becomes waste each year.
-
Less than 20% of plastic discarded is recovered or recycled.
-
Just 6% of packaging contains recycled plastic.
-
Industry generates 6.7 million tonnes of packaging annually.
​
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.
