Australia’s potential export of shredded soft plastic sparks industry alarm over weakened domestic recycling efforts.
Australian recycling firms are alarmed by the government’s potential approval of exports for shredded soft plastic, fearing it undermines domestic infrastructure built since China’s 2018 waste import ban.
The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water said it would consider applications if plastic is a single polymer, nearly contamination-free, and ready for reuse.
Industry leaders warn vague standards could enable low-quality waste exports, jeopardizing local investments and creating environmental risks abroad.
While the government insists no policy has changed and a recent application met existing rules, concerns persist over oversight and enforcement.
