In this practice note, we provide an overview of Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) authorisation and its relevance to product stewardship schemes. Authorisation can be an important tool in the development and implementation of industry-led, product stewardship schemes.
The Product Stewardship Centre of Excellence is an independent, not for profit charity, that seeks to reduce waste generation and create positive environmental and social outcomes through sustainable design, resource conservation, reuse, repair, and recycling. The Centre helps businesses, industries, and product stewardship organisations to adopt a strong lifecycle approach to deliver their ESG and circular economy objectives. We also provide independent advice on product stewardship priorities to the Australian government.
