Soft Plastics Stewardship Australia (SPSA) will host The Global Stewardship Playbook, a seven-part webinar series bringing experts from the UK and Europe to discuss strategies for soft plastic stewardship schemes.
The series is in partnership with Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), One Planet Consulting and the Packaging Forum NZ.
The opening session on Wednesday 22 October, 9:00–10:00am AEDT, features Joachim Quoden, CEO of EXPRA - Extended Producer Responsibility Alliance, Robbie Staniforth, director of innovation and policy at Ecosurety UK, and Helen Millicer, who recently returned from six months in Europe.
They will present on the 10 Golden Rules for effective product stewardship, their relevance to Australasia and common pitfalls to avoid as Australia and New Zealand develop soft plastic schemes.
The series is aimed at producers, industry leaders, government, regulators and sustainability professionals involved in packaging.
Soft Plastics Stewardship Australia said, “Europe developed and continually improved producer responsibility. It’s time for us to learn from them. For over 30 years, Producer Responsibility Organisations in European nations have evolved creating high-performing systems that deliver results for their producers, governments and communities. Australasia is at the same crossroads. Do we design systems that work, or repeat the pitfalls others learned the hard way?”
