Producers and importers face tougher regulations unless they step up to deliver on Australia’s recycling and reuse targets, as federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek fires a warning shot at “cowboys” bucking the good work of others in the industry.
The former Coalition government set ambitious recycling targets but progress has been slow. It announced in 2019 that Australia would restrict waste exports to reduce the 4.5 million tonnes it shipped offshore each year, following import bans in China, India, Taiwan, Malaysia and Thailand.
WWF-Australia plastics policy manager Kate Noble said Australia’s voluntary recycling targets should be legislated “because no one’s accountable for achieving them”. Noble said recycling and waste reduction were popular with the public because it could deliver economic outcomes.
