Queensland's container refund scheme fails to meet its targets as an estimated half billion bottles and cans do not meet the recovery rate.
A difference of 500 million containers not being recycled through the ten cent refund scheme has not met the required targets to be achieved for the year. Potentially leading to the scheme's termination.
Despite only reaching 61% increase in recycled containers, Containers for Change says it is proud of the ambitious goal of reaching 85%, which would make them Australia’s best container recycling state.
