To change the way we tackle waste and recycling, we need to change the system that creates it.
For too long successive federal governments have put the responsibility of waste reduction and recycling at the feet of consumers, rather than holding to account the big producers, brands, and retailers of plastic packaging and other waste that is polluting our planet.
800 pieces of plastic were removed from one seabird, just 80 days old.
Compelling new evidence exposed in a Senate inquiry report into the Albanese Government’s waste reduction and recycling policies reveals Australia is losing the war on waste and that our current and historic federal policy framework has failed.
Join us in calling on both major parties to unequivocally commit to:
- mandating our nation’s waste reduction targets;
- banning harmful single-use plastics; and
- legislating extended producer responsibility schemes.
