The Productivity Commission report on the inquiry into the circular economy has finally been published. The report 'finds that the Australian Government can support sustainable and efficient materials use by reforming regulation, strengthening product stewardship obligations and fostering coordination and innovation.'
‘Making our economy more efficient and sustainable requires coordinated, ongoing efforts across portfolios and levels of government’ - Commissioner Joanne Chong.
The Productivity Commission's recommendations for governments include:
🦺 Establishing a Circular Economy Regulatory Reform Taskforce with federal, state and territory governments
🔋Progressing a national product stewardship scheme for small-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and investigate a similar scheme for EV batteries.
🏬Developing place-based initiatives to enable coordination, address distance challenges and support businesses to develop and share new ideas.
