Packing Compliance in Asia & Australia
Asia and Australia sit at two different points on the same curve, some of the most established producer responsibility systems in the world next to some of the newest. Ecoveritas already supports businesses trading into Australia and New Zealand today, and we're building out our coverage across the wider region as it develops.
Our clients place packaging on markets worth a combined turnover of over £50 billion, and we've spent over 25 years turning complex, fast changing regulation into something manageable. Australia's Covenant, New Zealand's evolving stewardship schemes, and the mandatory frameworks emerging elsewhere across Asia are all part of the same picture to us, one we're already tracking closely on your behalf.
Australia's Recycling and Waste Reduction Act is expected to introduce new mandatory packaging requirements. We're already preparing clients for it, so nothing catches you off guard.
