It sounds like yet another failed plastic waste reduction and recycling scheme, based on what you've said. So I suppose my question is: what is it going to take for your government to accept that, after 25 years of repeated failure to reduce plastic packaging waste, a voluntary approach that relies on the goodwill of big business to do the right thing doesn't work and you now need to regulate the packaging industry and give actual consequences for failure?
