"The woman behind a global movement asking people to go plastic free for a
month is among those who say the pause of REDcycle’s program has the potential
to have a positive impact.
Last week it was announced the nation's largest soft plastic recycling program
had been temporarily scrapped amid concerns items were not being recycled.
REDcycle said the public would no longer be able to drop soft plastics in
collection bins at Coles or Woolworths supermarkets.
The processing facilities it used had temporarily stopped processing soft
plastics while at the same time the organisation was dealing with a huge
increase in the volume of plastic it was receiving.
Sustainability advocates say this should be a wake-up call for more meaningful
action to address plastic waste in Australia."
