Reform of packaging regulation
In October 2022, all environment ministers agreed to reform the regulation of packaging in Australia. DCCEEW is working on reforming Australia’s packaging regulations to support the transition to, and maintenance of, a circular economy for packaging in Australia.
This will ensure packaging is designed to eliminate waste and be recyclable, is collected and recycled at scale, and circulated in the economy for as long as possible at its highest value and best use.
This webinar
To inform how to best reform packaging regulations, DCCEWW is consulting on various options to better understand their impacts, benefits and costs.
This webinar will provide an update on DCCEWW’s public consultation process and how you can participate and provide your feedback on the proposed options for a reformed system for regulating packaging.
Topics covered in the webinar will include:
• a presentation on the consultation paper, including the proposed options for reforming packaging regulations
• how to participate in the consultation process; and
• continuation of the current co-regulatory arrangement while the reform is being developed.
There will be a moderated interactive Question and Answer session for attendees following a presentation by DCCEEW.
If you’re unable to attend, the webinar will be recorded and made available on the DCCEEW website.
