WWF dire plastic pollution predictions could be avoided
Greens spokesperson for Waste & Recycling and Healthy Oceans, Senator Peter Whish-Wilson, says dire predictions from WWF that plastic pollution is set to double by 2030 could be avoided with federal legislation.
Senator Whish-Wilson said, "Australia’s recycling industry is in crisis and plastic pollution is choking our oceans.
"Enacting federal legislation with real teeth and achievable recycling and packaging targets will provide a national framework for local councils and state governments to enforce.
