Promise: Environment Department

promise: The promise to them is being broken and we have to keep that promise, he said on Tuesday, according to The Guardian. The 12% figure is included in a report by the environment department and Blue Environment Pty Ltd last year, which outlines the challenge facing Australia's waste recovery efforts. The prime minister is concerned that only 12% of the plastic that Australians put into their kerbside bins is being recycled, and is angry the public is being let down. How much waste does Australia produce The report found that in 2016-17 Australia generated an estimated 67m tonnes of waste, almost 2,700kg for each person. And each person generates about 103kg of plastic each year. Most of this comes from the commercial and industrial sectors and construction and demolition, but about 560kg for each person comes from households and local government. (news.financializer.com).
