24 Nov 2021 --- Australia has “no hope” of achieving its 2025 national recycling targets, according to environmental activists, who are expressing dismay at the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation’s (APCO) recent progress report findings. The report details that despite 86% of the country’s plastic packaging being recyclable, compostable or reusable, only 16% ends up being recycled. Almost a quarter of recyclable materials go uncollected, and a further 8% is lost during collection and recycling.
