Want less plastic in Aotearoa? Let the government know!

The government has announced a proposal to phase out a range of hard-to-recycle and single-use plastic items, and is seeking public feedback. Better Futures Forum wants to see Aotearoa move towards zero waste and a circular economy, so we have teamed up with a number of other organisations to make a joint submission, which you can read here.

If you would like to make a submission but don’t know where to start, we recommend using this submission as a starting point. Remember, submissions don’t need to be long or complicated (and you don’t need to be an expert) for them to count!

Consultation closes 4 November 2020.

The consultation document and online submission tool is available here and further guidance on making a submission can be found here.
