"Almost three years after the collapse of the national soft plastics collection
and recycling program REDCycle, the consumer regulator is set to greenlight an
industry-led replacement scheme.
But there are concerns product manufacturers and the major supermarkets will
shift the program’s costs on to consumers rather than change their own
behaviour of producing and stocking vast quantities of soft plastics that
mostly end up in landfill.
Additionally, the scheme will only recycle a tiny fraction of the soft plastics
used in Australia and, at least initially, none of it will be turned back into
packaging."
