20250403 - Queensland falls behind NSW after groundbreaking new recycling law passes NSW Parliament.pdf

Today, Livium has released a series of media releases (example attached) in relation to QLD, ACT, NT, SA, Tas and VIC governments noting that these States and Territories have fallen behind the NSW Government. NSW this week became the first state in Australia to pass a Product Lifecycle Responsibility Act which will lead to mandatory product stewardship on products with environmental, human health and safety concerns. 

Livium is seeking for State and Territory Governments to take collective action, to ensure a national approach that holds manufacturers accountable for safer processing of e-waste and batteries benefiting all Australians.

Livium believes this will improve the risk of fires and will ultimately see a higher volume of batteries available for recycling.
