A new report into consumer insights has today revealed that 76 per cent of Australians think that recycling is the most positive thing they can do for the environment and that the first place they turn to for accurate information about how to recycle right is the labelling on their product packaging (51 per cent).

While there is no doubt this is true, it should be kept in mind that the report was commissioned by the plastic industry who want to promote plastic recycling and for people to recycle.  We hope the new ARLs will make a big difference this time compared to last waves of encouraging people to recycle 20 years ago.
