WHY THE GREEN’S WASTE MINIMISATION BILL WAS RIGHT
FOR THE 1970’S BUT IS WRONG FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
|
The Packaging Council of New Zealand is concerned that the Green Party’s Waste Minimisation (Solids) Bill, which passed its first reading in Parliament today, will introduce further punitive legislation on New Zealand’s manufacturers.
Legislation that will increase the cost of recycling, make recycling less efficient and will not achieve its overall objective of reducing the amount of waste which goes to landfill. At worst, it will lead to an increase in the cost of goods, less investment in New Zealand and movement of production off-shore.
