Recycling industry says it’s ‘not ready’ for ban on exporting plastic waste.
An export ban on sending mixed plastics overseas for recycling comes into effect today, but it could see recyclable items sent to landfill.
The waste and recycling sector said it was not ready for the change, with some states more than a year away from having the capacity to recycle all of their plastic.
This ban comes into force tomorrow on July 1st.
