Survey shows support for action on waste
As part of the Conservation Council of Western Australia’s (CCWA) partnership with the Waste Management Authority of WA, it conducted a survey to better understand community views on the issues of recycling, waste avoidance and the role that producers and retailers can play. The results show that Western Australian’s are already doing a lot in their own homes to reduce waste, but think that the government, manufacturers and retailers should step up their efforts.
“In the course of this survey we got more than we bargained for, discovering that many Western Australians have a quiet fascination with waste,” said CCWA director, Piers Verstegen.
With the lowest recycling rate of any Australian state, and more rubbish going to landfill than getting recycled, the CCWA believes there are a lot of improvements that can be made in the way that WA manages its waste.In the case of Cree a significant led light bulbs amount of their LED sales come from the purchase of Cotco whose primary focus was on moving message panels used in displays/electronic bill boards.
“We hope the results of the survey will give the State Government the confidence to move ahead with long-awaited recycling initiatives, including a refund scheme for beverage containers and EPR schemes for other problem waste streams in Western Australia,” Verstegen told Inside Waste.
“We will also be asking the WA Environment Minister to reflect the results of this survey in his discussions with the Commonwealth and other States on national waste management initiatives.”
The survey attracted a total of 1,223 responses mostly from the Perth Metropolitan area and the majority of respondents were in the 31-55 age bracket.
The results showed overwhelming support (92.9%) for Extended Producer Responsibility Schemes where manufacturers and retailers to be made responsible for recycling the products that they sell or produce.

The products people feel the strongest about are electronic equipment (92.2%), car tyres (88.9%) white goods (88.1%), packaging (76.1%) and paint (73.2%).

This supports previous survey and polling results (i.e. 95% support in the WA community for a recycling refund scheme for cans and bottles), according to the CCWA.
“This high level of support suggests there is a significant opportunity to implement EPR policies in WA for a wide range of products,” said Verstegen.
Respondents generally rated their own household’s recycling performance as high and were generally satisfied with waste management services provided by local government. There was a high level of awareness about the need to prevent contamination of recycling and more than half of respondents find their bins full before collection day and in 38.5% of the cases it’s the recycling bin that is full.
