how is it financed?

Members make a contribution by levies proportionate to the glass used by each member company at all stages of the container’s use.

This applies to the container, the filling and the selling into the New Zealand market whether manufactured in New Zealand or imported.

priority should be given to high value uses e.g. remanufacture into new containers

Page 10: glass packaging forum product stewardship scheme

preferred collection methods

an effective collection system which ensures colour separation and minimum contamination and maximum opportunity for reuse

simplicity of dealing with one product

i.e. single focus

Page 13: glass packaging forum product stewardship scheme

Act regulations are framed towards metrics making it easier to apply to an individual material

• benefits become clear when addressing end of life options• a single material gives a consistent carbon footprint

For six years the Glass Packaging Forum has operated as a product steward for glass and its programme has now been refined into a formal, accreditable product stewardship scheme.

Under the Act, Product Stewardship is a seven year programme.

Operationally, we are at the early stages of the process and are fully aware that we are expected to deliver on objectives.
