The Hodgman Liberal Government congratulates Tassal on its commitment to recycle 100 per cent of its major plastic waste.
We also welcome the expansion of Envorinex, which is expanding its business to include the recycling of soft plastics in addition to rigid plastics produced by industry within the State.
This is a great example of Tasmanian-owned businesses investing in innovative solutions and working together for resource efficiency, waste minimisation and environmental sustainability.
The Tasmanian Government recognises that we need to work together to tackle issues of waste and recycling, covering both industrial and domestic waste sources.
That’s why we are currently in discussions with Local Government and our national counterparts, regarding the need to expand and develop our recycling industry, grow our domestic capabilities and increase the demand for recycled products, as we work towards a target of 100 per cent of Australian packaging being recyclable, compostable or reusable by 2025.
