Recommendation

Prioritise options that minimise waste entering the market to avoid unnecessary infrastructure costs

Section: 6.5. Moving to a circular economy

How

Options should include:

  1. A ban on products that are hard to recycle.
  2. The development of options to incentivise greater product stewardship.
  3. Increasing waste-disposal levies sustainably while managing, monitoring and funding enforcement to minimise illegal dumping.

The prioritisation of these options should be guided by cost-benefit analyses.
