Consultation paper released on National Television and Computer Product Stewardship Scheme
Under the National Waste Policy: Less Waste, More Resources, the Australian Government agreed to develop and enact national legislation to support voluntary, co-regulatory and mandatory product stewardship and extended producer responsibility schemes.
The Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities is preparing to draft regulations to underpin industry arrangements for collecting and recycling televisions and computers under the new National Television and Computer Product Stewardship Scheme.
A consultation paper on the proposed regulations which will underpin the scheme has been released on the department’s website. Written public submissions are due by Friday 8 April 2011.
Public meetings are also being held in capital cities and selected regional locations from 15 March to 4 April 2011. Pre-registration (at least three days before the scheduled date) is requested for the public meetings or the bilateral meetings - email wastepolicy@environment.gov.au, including name, organisation, contact details and number of attendees.
