Your Opportunity
18%
Only 18 percent of all plastic packaging used in Australia is recycled or composted, while 82 percent ends up in landfill and our natural environments
32.7%
Soft flexible plastics represent about 32.7% of all plastic packaging used in Australia, but only has a low recovery rate of 10.7% as of 2018/19.
3%
Soft plastic packaging had the lowest rate of recycled content at only 3% of pre-consumer recycled content in 2018/19.
2040
Our use of plastic is increasing and across the world will double by 2040. By 2050, it is estimated that plastic in the oceans will outweigh fish.
Why Recycle?
Avoid Upstream Energy Use
Recycling plastic film avoids the upstream energy necessary to produce one ton of new product and saves about 2 tons of CO2 annually.

Increase Productivity
Recycling increases the productivity of already manufactured materials, therefore reducing the need to extract more virgin material
(APCO, 2021)
Lower Environmental Impacts
Recycling lowers the environmental and climate impacts of packaging overall, including less litter
(APCO, 2021)
A Competitive Advantage
Recycling forms a stronger, more innovative and collaborative, globally competitive Australian packaging industry.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
It is conservatively estimated that there is a 30 percent carbon saving for recycled plastic.
