"In recent years, the question of what to do with our household waste has
become more pressing. In 2018, China stopped accepting many types of recyclable
plastic waste from Australia. Four years later, Australia’s main soft plastics
recycling scheme, REDcycle, collapsed, leaving behind big stockpiles. Food
scraps or non-recyclable plastics in recycling bins slash the value of these
waste streams.
This year, Australia’s second most populous state, Victoria, is trying to
improve matters with a proposed waste system using four bins across all 79
council areas and its alpine resorts. The state government is seeking your
feedback on these changes and how they would be implemented. Our research
suggests there’s much to like in these changes, but there are also big sticking
points."
