A Fair Future for
Recyclers of South Australia

Evolutionary Reform

RSA champions an evolutionary approach to CDS reform, emphasising the need for strategic refinement and improvement of a successfully established scheme that requires improvement, not abandonment. With a focus on addressing prevalent issues, enhancing governance structures, and broadening the scope of included recyclables, while seamlessly integrating 40+ years of independent innovation by South Australia’s recycling pioneers, delivering immeasurable advantages that support continued success for the scheme.
