Australia is losing the war on waste.
The new Senate inquiry report into Australia’s waste reduction and recycling policies shows clearly that our current and historic federal policy framework has failed.
It is time for strong, political action on the waste crisis.

It’s hardly surprising that policies have failed given successive governments have chosen to put the responsibility for waste on consumers, rather than hold big producers & retailers to account.
The Greens call on both major parties to commit to mandating our nation’s waste reduction targets, banning harmful single use plastics, and legislating EPR schemes in the next parliament.
We're laser focused on the only R from Reduce, Reuse and Recycle that doesn't make any difference to the climate.
