Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO)

Come join us online as we launch Our Packaging Future.

Join Assistant Minister for Waste Reduction and Environment Management, the Hon Trevor Evans MP, and the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation, for the launch of ‘Our Packaging Future’, the new strategic framework outlining how Australia will deliver the 2025 National Packaging Targets. The session will include discussion from Minister Evans, Dr Helen Lewis and APCO CEO Brooke Donnelly, plus a Q&amp;A session. The full report will be available to download on the APCO website on Wednesday morning. About Our Packaging Future: Of the 5.5 million tonnes of packaging material placed on the market annually, 88% is currently recyclable. However just 49% is recovered for use in future applications, with the remainder ending up in landfill, or as litter on land and in our oceans. Our Packaging Future combines data and insights from more than 200 authors and contributors, to identify the current critical challenges contributing to this gap. The framework then maps the strategies required to move away from our current ‘take, make and waste’ approach to managing packaging. The strategies address issues of packaging design, improved collection and recycling systems, and expanded markets for used packaging, and provide a systemic, whole of environment approach to building Australia’s sustainable packaging future.Dial-in details will be circulated on the day of the webinar to those who have registered.
