Tired of voluntary industry pledges failing to meet recycling targets, they argue it’s time to hold manufacturers financially accountable — shifting the burden from households to polluters. Their plan includes binding waste reduction targets and could cost families just 25 cents a week, far less than current waste management fees. With growing evidence linking microplastics to cancer risks, especially in youth, they’re pushing for urgent government action before year’s end — while a Greens bill on similar lines awaits Senate review.
