ReMade in Australia – Discussion Paper feedback period closes Friday 10th February

DCCEEW has published a Discussion Paper relating to its proposed “ReMade in Australia” brand.

The brand will be used to promote Australian-made, recycled-content products. The department is also considering a “Partners Program” that recyclers could participate in to acknowledge their contribution to these products.

A discussion paper seeking feedback on the brand’s design is now live on the department’s Have Your Say webpage. There is also a template for providing your response. Given the upcoming holiday period, the discussion paper will be open for comment until COB 10 February 2023, to provide respondents time to review and consider.

Our paper outlines potential rules products would meet to be eligible for the brand, as well as critical feedback the department has heard in consultations and our November 2022 workshop series.

For recyclers, the key rule you may wish to comment on is #7 which relates to the Australian recycled content of products (section 2.4)

DCCEEW welcomes your feedback on the brand’s proposed rules. You can provide feedback by answering a short survey on the proposed rules or by responding to the paper with a written submission.

You can also reach out to the department via RemadeinAustralia@dcceew.gov.au with any questions.
