Last week, Governor-General Dame Patsy Reddy delivered a speech outlining the Government’s plans for the next three years.
The ‘Speech from the Throne’ noted the Government’s plans to implement recommendations from the Rethinking plastics report:
The Government will implement the recommendations of the Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor by phasing out hard to recycle single-use plastic items and supporting the development of alternatives through a Plastics Innovation Fund.
