Join DCCEEW for an upcoming webinar: Stakeholder Update on Packaging Regulatory Reform. The webinar is intended for stakeholders involved, or interested in, in the production, use and recovery of packaging in Australia.

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, DCCEEW are consulting on various options to better understand their impacts, benefits and costs. This webinar will provide an update on the DCCEEW 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.

Please register via the following link and limit registrations to two spots per organisation: REGISTER HERE.

If you’re unable to attend, the webinar will be recorded and made available on the DCCEEW website.
