The National Packaging Covenant is a unique initiative between government and industry, to stop packaging waste ending up in landfill. Working together with Australian brand owners and the packaging supply chain the Covenant scrutinises better ways to recycle, reuse, recover and re-design packaging so it is sustainable and does not end up in landfill.   The Covenant currently contributes funds to more than 50 diverse projects, such as this BottleCycler trial, across Australia worth a total $47 million which investigate better ways to recycle, reuse, recover and re-design packaging to divert it from landfill. These projects have the potential to divert an additional 500,000 tonnes of consumer packaging
