All levels of government and other large entities hold significant market power, and their procurement practices can shape markets to help deliver improved environmental outcomes. Large entities that understand and acknowledge this power can use it to create positive market impacts in line with broader goals, including management of the waste challenge, circular economy transition, product stewardship activity, environmental sustainability as well as meeting the expectations of consumers and the community more broadly.
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.
