Australia to miss plastic reduction targets without tougher enforcement, waste industry says | Plastics

In a submission to a review of the laws, which closed on Friday, WWF-Australia said the states’ and territories’ failure to enforce the law had resulted in “a system characterised by free-riders, where brands can choose to voluntarily meet APCO targets or be governed by regulations that aren’t enforced”. The organisation’s plastics campaigner, Katinka Day, said there needed to be penalties for companies that were not part of APCO. “We cannot feel confident that Australia’s packaging targets will be met unless they are made mandatory to all companies putting packaging on the market,” she said.

Conservation groups have welcomed many aspects of the plan, which also includes an end to polystyrene food and beverage containers by the end of 2022, but also criticised its largely voluntary approach to reaching ambitious goals, calling for those targets to be mandated.
