Unpackit Awards
Thank you to nature lovers across Australia for your hundreds of nominations to the first ever Unpackit Awards.
Your nominations have helped shine a light on the best and worst packaging in Australia.
The Unpackit Awards winners were announced in Canberra in June and publicised to a national audience by radio, TV and online news outlets.
✔️The good: A reusable milk keg system that has cut the need for 4.5 million single-use plastic milk bottles so far. Congratulations to The Udder Way.
❌ The bad: Plastic/metal hybrid “franken-cans” for iced drinks. These containers are made for single use, are not accepted for 10c container refunds, and are almost impossible to recycle.
Australia needs national packaging laws to stop plastic packaging polluting our environment. Overproduction of plastic is one of the biggest threats to our coasts and ocean.
Thank you for turning the tide on plastic pollution.
Take Action
Australia needs strong national packaging laws. Tell your federal MP to deliver the strong laws that Australia was promised.
