Partnership call: Product Stewardship Centre of Excellence

This partnership call closed on 4 August 2020.

Through partnerships we can share our skills, expertise and resources to have a greater impact.

Product stewardship encourages shared responsibility between producers, users and governments to manage the impacts of products through their life cycle.

In 2020, the department released a partnership call seeking a partner to establish a Centre of Excellence in product stewardship. A consortium led by the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology Sydney, with the Australian Industry Group and Cox Inall Communications, will work with us to deliver and achieve the outcomes of the Centre of Excellence. This includes supporting the development of new industry-led product stewardship schemes and improving recycling rates of existing product stewardship schemes.
