Consumer products giant Unilever wants the Australian government to provide stronger coordination for companies as they work to meet new domestic recycling targets aimed at cutting down the nation’s waste production.
The Minister for the Environment and Energy Josh Frydenberg announced on April 27 that the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation will work with companies to make 100 percent of packaging reusable, combustible, or recyclable by 2025, or earlier.
The new targets came after the Chinese government announced its “green sword” policy last year that included a freeze on importing 24 types of recyclable materials.
