Environment Australia has preempted its discussion paper “Developing A Product Stewardship Strategy For Electrical And Electronic Appliances In Australia” by releasing “Proposed Model For A Product Stewardship Strategy For Electrical And Electronic Equipment” (Proposed Model) before the closing date of submissions.
The Proposed Model calls for:
- A levy to apply on all electrical goods to establish comprehensive recycling and electrical waste infrastructure
- Ban of all used electrical goods to landfill by 2005
AEBN prepared a sharp response opposing this proposal.
