Sustainable Packaging

A recent review of Australia’s packaging sustainability by consumer group CHOICE has ranked some of the nation’s most popular appliances to find out which products have the best and worst packaging sustainability. 

The analysis focused on the percentage of recyclable components for each product and ranked them best to worst, with only one product being 100% recyclable.

These findings come after Clean Up Australia’s 2022 National Rubbish Report stated that 63% of rubbish collected by the organisation was plastic of some sort. The report also stated that there was a 7% increase in soft plastics found in 2022 as opposed to 2021, while hard plastic found rose by 5%.

Investigations Editor at CHOICE, Andy Kollmorgen, joined Fiona Bartholomeus On The Record to discuss the rise of non-recyclable packaging and the changes manufacturers can make to more sustainable products.
