This webinar was the first in a series on the benefits and effectiveness of product stewardship, identified in the UTS report.
Australia’s landmark study of the benefits and effectiveness of product stewardship recently released a series of reports to further understanding of how product stewardship can deliver environmental, social and economic benefits and provide businesses and government with a pathway to transition to a circular economy.
These reports include important and timely evidence base for governments, businesses and the community on the importance of product stewardship being a major business-focused approach to design out waste and pollution, keep products and materials circulating in the economy, regenerate natural systems and decarbonise the economy.
This webinar examines how product stewardship effectiveness* was assessed, the findings including the five characteristics to being an effective product stewardship initiative and the strategies different product stewardship schemes and initiatives adopt to be effective.
