This year marks a significant shift in Australia's commitment to a sustainable future. With several new policies and changes on the horizon, we're moving towards a circular economy that promises not only environmental benefits but also new opportunities for businesses. Here are a few upcoming changes you need to know about:

Mandatory Climate Reporting: Starting 1st July, large companies must disclose their climate transition plans, including carbon offsets and mitigation strategies.

Circular Waste Economy and Plastics Pact: Australia is committed to recycling 70% of all plastic packaging by 2025, under the ANZPAC plastics pact.

So what can your business do to prepare?

Stay Informed: Understand the new mandatory requirements and how they impact your business.

Develop a Sustainability Plan: Align your business objectives with these new environmental goals.

Reconsider Recycled Options: Explore how your business can integrate recycled materials and reduce waste.

Collaborate for Knowledge: Engage with other businesses to share insights and strategies for sustainable practices.

These changes aren't just regulatory requirements; they're opportunities for innovation, growth, and leadership in sustainability. Let's work together to make a positive impact on our environment and economy.
