Packaging

In terms of volume, packaging forms a significant component of FHE waste stream. The amount may ultimately diminish as the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 1997, amended 1999, take effect on manufacturers. This will have a long run-in period, therefore it is important to implement initiatives in the meantime.
