RETURN AND EARN RETURNS $1.3B IN REFUNDS

NSW’s Return and Earn scheme has reached a major milestone, with 13 bil-lion drink containers recycled since its 2017 launch - returning over $1.3B re-funds to the community and raising $72M for charities. The program has saved water, energy, and cut emissions, reducing litter by 73%. With over 650 return points statewide, participation is strong, especially in regional areas. The scheme continues to support sustainability, community causes, and the circular economy, turning waste into valuable resources across NSW.
