ABCL Submission to Queensland’s Container Refund Scheme (CRS)

The ABCL made a submission to the Inquiry into Improving Queensland’s Container Refund Scheme, conducted by the Queensland Health, Environment and Innovation Committee.

This inquiry, announced on 20 February 2025 by the Hon Andrew Powell MP, is examining the efficiency and effectiveness of the scheme, including administration by Container Exchange (COEX), container recovery targets, accessibility of refund points, and broader governance and transparency issues.

The ABCL’s submission responds to the terms of reference and reflects our commitment to a well-functioning, transparent and accessible container refund system that delivers strong environmental outcomes while remaining efficient for beverage producers.
