The 'reduce, reuse, recycle' approach needs to be reconsidered
The 'reduce, reuse, recycle' approach needs to be reconsidered
9 August 2019
The Government's announced a new proposal for a regulated product stewardship scheme, to stop plastic packaging, tyres and batteries ending up in landfills.
Local Government president Dave Cull says the scheme could redefine how plastic is 'reduced'.
He says the scheme will help stop the cycle of products being destined for landfill.
Cull says it creates a stronger circular life-stream, where the cost of reusing products is built into the system.
