Australia's Container Deposit schemes are a great recycling Initiative but there are still too many bottles and cans being Littered or ending up in landfill. That’s why it’s time to give People a better incentive to return their containers for Recycling. 85% of Australians support increasing the refund To 20c, and so do we. It will mean more recycling, less litter And more money back for your containers.

We are calling for two decisive changes to Australia’s CDS:

01

Increase the refund amount from 10¢ to 20¢

Increase the refund amount from 10¢ to 20¢ in all states and territories. This aligns us with high-performing international schemes and restores the incentive's true value.

02

Commit to periodic reviews of the refund amount, indexed to CPI.

Commit to periodic reviews of the refund amount, indexed to CPI. This ensures the incentive remains effective over time and doesn't erode with inflation.

Join the 20 cents makes sense campaign so we can recycle more containers, you can have more money in your pocket, and we can all have a cleaner Australia.
