Update: Polypropylene Plant Packaging (PoPPr) Program
Stage 2 Scheme Design of the Polypropylene Plant Packaging (PoPPr) Program has commenced. Find out how you can provide feedback on this stage at our workshop on Wednesday 1 September.
Greenlife Industry Australia (GIA) in partnership the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), received grant funding from the Australian Government under the National Product Stewardship Investment Fund (NPSIF) to design and implement a national recycling program for Polypropylene Plant Packaging (PoPPr) Program.
Stage 1 Business Case Development of the program has been completed and has established a strong business case for Governments, GIA, APCO, the nursery and greenlife industry and associated stakeholder groups to progress with the program. Stage 2 Scheme Design and Stage 3 Scheme Implementation are now being progressed to design the scheme for the collection and recycling of all Polypropylene plant packaging – pots, stakes, labels tags and trays – placed on the Australian market, suitable to a diverse range of end-of-use locations.
