2.4. HOW WILL RECYCLED CONTENT BE MEASURED?

For ANZPAC Plastics Pact reporting purposes, questions to help measure progress towards the ANZPAC Targets include a series of qualitative and quantitative questions. These include but are not limited to:

  • Providing details on the source of plastic in your packaging (whether it be recycled content or virgin material) as a percentage of total packaging weight.
  • Describing the activities and progress you have made to increase your percentage of post-consumer recycled content (on average and by weight) across all plastic packaging by 2025.

While the Pact’s proposed Target 4 (average of 25% recycled content in plastic packaging across the ANZPAC region) relates to post-consumer recycled content only, questions on pre-consumer recycled content used in packaging are also asked.

Please note that different organisations will be asked different questions in relation to recycled content to help gain a greater understanding of recycled content within the region.
