The latest Australian Plastics Flows and Fates and Report is out now. It covers the years 2022-23 and 2023-24 financial years and is presented in an easy-to-use and interactive web-based format.
The report provides information on how plastics are:
- used
- disposed of
- recovered through recycling or reuse.
The report delivers on a key target of our National Waste Policy Action Plan to collect and publish waste data that is up-to-date and accessible. This year the report is presented in an interactive and accessible format on our website. It includes easy access to data from previous reports, some extending back as far as 25 years.
We are committed to reducing plastic waste and increasing recycling in Australia. This report is designed to support better consumer, investment, and policy decisions. The data shows that we are making progress in increasing national plastic recovery rates. However, we still have work to do to help achieve our goal to double the circularity of the economy by 2035.
