Waste export ban on mixed plastics now in force As of Thursday 1 July, waste mixed plastics can no longer be exported from Australia. All future waste plastic exports must be licenced and as a minimum be sorted into either a single polymer bale or processed pellet/flake to a recognised industry specification. The National Waste and Recycling Industry Council (NWRIC) supports the COAG export ban on unprocessed waste materials, and its members are working hard in collaboration with state and federal governments to upgrade existing sorting capacity and build new processing facilities across the country. Many of these we expect will come online over the next 12 to 18 months.
