flag Australia urges ban on non-recyclable black plastic packaging amid recycling challenges.

flag Waste experts and environmental groups are urging the Australian government to ban black plastic packaging, especially supermarket trays, due to its poor recyclability. flag Though retailers like Woolworths, Coles, Aldi, and Metcash have started removing or replacing black plastic in their own-brand products, external suppliers still use it. flag The Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation warns that black plastic hinders recycling, with only 20% of plastic packaging currently repurposed despite a 70% national target. flag Environmental advocates are pushing for mandatory federal regulations as Australia’s urban recycling rate stands at 63%.
