New Zealanders consume about 735 thousand tonnes of packaging every year and recycle about 58% of it.

That's a good effort, but with 97% of New Zealanders having access to facilities to recycle paper, glass, cans and
plastics 1 and 2 (and in some places 1 - 7) we can, and must, do a lot better.

Whilst the Packaging Council's members are working
on ways to reduce and recycle packaging waste, we must all play our part to make a difference.
