The ACT could be set to become a national leader in processing mixed plastic waste following from an export ban on the recycled products, according to industry experts.
However, some have said the tight deadline to transition to onshore processing could lead to lags in the industry across other states and territories.
“…the ACT government have responded quickly and have committed, and the ACT has some of the best recycling rates in the country and have been very proactive at putting recovery systems in place” said National Waste and Recycling Industry Council chief executive Rose Read.
