The Australian Council of Recycling (ACOR) is the leading national industry association for the recycling and resource recovery sector in Australia.

ACOR has released a new paper outlining clear triggers for when product stewardship and #EPR schemes should apply.Intervention must be proportionate, evidence-based and address genuine market failure — without disrupting #recycling markets. https://t.co/mhpl9k6TNS

[Australian Council of Recycling @ACOR11]

@BoomAlliance highlights that stakeholders across industry and civil society are united in calling for a mandatory national #ProductStewardshipScheme for packaging.https://t.co/PwkK0Z2Nc8 @ozprodcom

@BoomAlliance is clear: delaying #packagingreform delays jobs, resource savings and #environmental gains. @ozprodcom says publish reforms now. https://t.co/PwkK0Z2Nc8

There’s broad agreement: community groups, recyclers and industry all point to the same fix — packaging reform.With packaging driving most litter, better design, recovery and recycled content are essential. https://t.co/A0LmvQ3eJn

When almost 60% of litter is packaging, it’s not behaviour, it’s system design. #CleanUpAustralia is calling for urgent packaging reform, soft plastics stewardship and stronger CDS. Voluntary approaches aren’t enough. https://t.co/A0LmvQ3eJn
#NationalPackagingReform

[Australian Council of Recycling @ACOR11]

Litter clean-ups reveal what’s slipping through: soft plastics and packaging dominate Australia’s litter.
Prevention beats clean-up. Stronger packaging reform and producer responsibility can stop waste before it starts.https://t.co/A0LmvQ3eJn

[Australian Council of Recycling @ACOR11]

New data from #CleanUpAustralia shows soft plastics = 30.5% of litter and packaging = nearly 60%.
Packaging is Australia’s biggest litter driver. Urgent #NationalPackagingReform is needed to cut waste at the source. https://t.co/A0LmvQ3MyV

The @ozprodcom delivered its #CircularEconomy report months ago, but #NationalPackagingReform remains stalled. @BoomAlliance says continued delay and mixed signals are unacceptable.

The @ozprodcom is clear: the @ausgov must publish its proposed packaging reforms without delay to maintain momentum and confidence.

Timely reads on packaging reform, plastics #circulareconomy policy — core to Australia’s recycling future.

Councils are doing their part, but they can’t fix systemic packaging problems alone. #ALGA is calling on the @ausgov to show leadership and deliver #NationalPackagingReform that supports councils and #recycling.

[Australian Council of Recycling @ACOR11]

Uncertainty in packaging regulation puts pressure on #recycling services and risks more waste going to landfill. #ALGA says strong, nationally consistent packaging reform is needed now to give certainty across the system. https://t.co/ITTuZbOEVU @ALGAcomms

[Australian Council of Recycling @ACOR11]

Local government plays a vital role in #recycling, but councils can’t mandate recyclable packaging or recycled content. Only national action can do that. #ALGA is calling for mandatory #NationalPackagingReform now. https://t.co/ITTuZbO76m @ALGAcomms

[Australian Council of Recycling @ACOR11]

Local councils carry the burden of packaging waste, but don’t control how packaging is designed or sold.
#ALGA is urging the @ausgov to deliver nationally consistent #PackagingReform to reduce pressure on local services. https://t.co/ITTuZbO76m @ALGAcomms

[Australian Council of Recycling @ACOR11]

Local councils are on the frontline of Australia’s #packaging waste problem, managing growing volumes with little control over packaging design. #ALGA is calling for urgent National #PackagingReform so producers take responsibility. https://t.co/ITTuZbO76m

ACOR welcomes NSW & SA expanding #ContainerDepositScheme to include wine & spirit bottles from 2027 . More high-quality #GlassRecycling = lower emissions, energy savings & local jobs. https://t.co/3mA93lrGuj
