According to The Boomerang Alliance, Victoria is on a course to be the most littered state with least recycling because it is the only state in Australia to not commit to a container deposit scheme after Tasmania announced it will join up. “This is embarrassing for a state that is regarded as progressive in other areas; worse still it will continue to suffer from horrendous plastic bottle litter that will break up into dangerous microplastics in waterways and the ocean. We have had numerous meetings with Victorian governments over the years and there is no logic or environmental or economic sense to their continued recalcitrance,” said Jeff Angel, Director of the Boomerang Alliance.
