The National Retail Association today applauds the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) on its release of the Australasian Recycling Label Consumer Insights Report 2021. The report found that 76% 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%). The key takeaway for retailers and brand owners is that consumers care about recycling and the Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) Program is helping them develop positive recycling behaviours. The report shows that awareness of the ARL has grown significantly (up by 16% year on year). Brooke Donnelly, APCO CEO, says: "Everyone, including industry, government and consumers, is vital to creating cleaner waste streams in Australia, while understanding attitudes and beliefs is crucial to getting everyone to recycle more and to recycle better."
