Have your say on the draft container refund scheme regulations
Consultation has concluded
Members of the public are invited to have their say on the Draft Container Refund Scheme Regulations 2023.
Minister for Environment and Climate Change, Roger Jaensch, said that under the Container Refund Scheme, known as Recycle Rewards, Tasmanians will be able to get a 10 cent reward for each eligible, empty drink container they take to a designated refund point.
As part of preparations, draft regulations have been developed to provide operational detail around the Container Refund Scheme Act 2022, including:
the 10 cents per container refund amount;
technical details for barcodes and refund messages to be included on beverage labels;
circumstances where a refund is not payable (such as where a container is broken or contaminated); and
which beverage containers won’t be covered by the scheme when it commences (such as unflavoured milk, wine and spirits).
Submissions must be in writing and emailed to: CRS.Enquiries@nre.tas.gov.au
Submissions may also be posted to:
Container Refund Scheme Project Team Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania GPO Box 44 Hobart TAS 7001
Submissions must be received by 5pm Wednesday 14 June 2023.
