Curtin University study highlights barriers to success of WA CDS – Australia
Posted on October 10, 2022 by DrRossH in Plastic Limiting RegulationsCurtin University authors Ciara O’Dwyer, Atiq Zaman and Jessica K. Breadsell stated in their Abstract from the paper that the study “found that there is a high level of public awareness (98 per cent) of the [WA CD] scheme, and it has been widely adopted across Perth within the first year of its implementation; however, logistical challenges and container eligibility were found to be key barriers to the uptake of the scheme. It was noted that there is some skepticism toward waste management practices in Australia, and knowledge of the benefits of CDS appears to be lacking. Recommendations for improving the functionality and uptake of the Containers for Change scheme are to increase the range of bottles accepted within the scheme, create more accessible and convenient drop-off locations for containers, and improve/increase education regarding the benefits of the scheme”.
