ABOUT:
Container Deposit Schemes (CDS) are an ideal example of product stewardship programs where the brands take responsibility for the packaging they put on to market. This includes ensuring that there is an established system in place for recovery of the packaging and then the recycling scheme to support the end of life.
.
Container Deposit schemes for Beverage packaging provide many benefits to the country via minimising litter, keeping packaging out of the environment, providing quality feedstock for recycled content, incentivising consumers to recycle properly, supporting charities in Australia, improving recycling rates and keeping valuable resources that can be recycled out of landfill. The challenge for our country is that not all State and Territories are running the same scheme and not all materials are accepted on a national basis. There is also a need for greater consumer education programs to be developed to ensure that less packaging that should be going into CDS programs is kept out of kerbside collection, or worse, landfill.
.
This webinar will discuss the current state of Container Deposit Schemes in Australia, collection points, accepted materials, opportunities for regional areas and more. The speakers will also discuss how we can improve recovery rates and incentivise more households to utilise the CDS programs and be able to use platforms like RecycleMate to locate Away from Home collection points.
