This FREE explainer will help you understand Australia’s changing packaging rules.
Packaging regulations are tightening and non-compliance will soon carry a real cost.
If your business places packaging on the Australian market, now is the time to get across the requirements, as the compliance landscape is shifting fast.
Our FREE explainer cuts through the confusion so you can stay one step ahead and avoid risk.
1.Who the Rules Apply To: A clear summary of which businesses are affected and what your obligations are.
2. What’s Changing and When: Understand the phased rollout of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and what it means for your business.
3. What It Could Cost You: Indicative pricing and penalties for soft plastics, rigid plastics, and fibre-based materials.
4. How to Reduce Fees and Risk: Learn how better packaging data and evidence can help you unlock eco-modulated discounts.
Participation will require compliance reporting and a lack of data and evidence will attract higher fees and increase scrutiny.
In other words, you’ll need to prove your packaging is compliant or pay the price.
This explainer helps you start preparing now, before the thresholds drop and costs rise.
Packaging compliance is no longer optional and relying on outdated systems or assumptions could leave your business exposed.
