I have to throw so much clean soft plastic out through my business, and it is not good for my business or the planet. We can do better!Flynn Dovey (Fyshwick, 2022-04-01)

I’m signing because soft plastics make up such a significant portion of our rubbish. No matter how we buy food, it is so hard to avoid them. Either a dedicated solution should be made for the soft plastic waste or alternatively companies should accept them back and make use of them, or find another way to package their items. More expensive yes, but so so worthwhile.Holly McCosker (Canberra, 2022-04-01)

This say it all ? There is currently no commercial solution in the ACT for recycling soft plastics, we want to change that. In a small trial The Knox collected roughly 1,200L of soft plastics per week which would otherwise be going to landfill.please your in apposition of power to care and make a change .

I am acutely aware of my impact on the environment. I make an effort to reduce and reuse as much as possible, but sometimes recycling is the only option. After composting food waste and recycling other materials, soft plastics make up the bulk of my household waste - and I can only imagine what this looks like for business. We need a solution that works for recycling domestic and commercial soft plastic waste in Canberra.Jacqui Malins (Watson, 2022-04-01)

I accumulate a lot of soft plastic and there is no easy option to recycle it, as I rarely go to a supermarket, especially in a pandemic. We need a better option in Canberra. Ideally I'd like a household bin but any option other than a supermarket would be a good startJennifer Cox (Evatt, 2022-04-01)

It seems absolute ridiculous that we collect so much plastic but can’t do anything with itLuke. Oxley (Dickson, 2022-04-01)

Everyone should be either banning soft plastics or doing something about itRiccardo Riegler (Pagewood, 2022-04-01)

We are generally pretty good at recycling in the ACT but a soft plastic option is really needed. Thanks to Knox for taking up the challenge.Michael White (Watson, 2022-04-01)

It's so important to recycle single use plastics and have convenient local drop off places like the Knox Made in Watson.David Turbayne (Canberra, 2022-04-01)

We have an obligation to our future to ensure recycling is promoted and actioned.Deborah Henry (Stirling , 2022-04-02)

I’m signing because this is such a ‘simple fix’ on the road to looking after our planet. If individuals are encouraged to recycle, it should be even more important to give companies the avenues to do so.Karen Spedding (Canberra , 2022-04-02)

My wife gave an unconvincing defence of recycling but she still thinks it is on balance a good thing and I trust her judgement.James Willoughby (Watson, 2022-04-04)

There should be greater support, incentives and mechanisms to stop soft plastics going to landfill. There is no Planet B.Amanda Robinson (Canberra, 2022-04-04)

It's not enough for the government to hope that businesses will do the right thing. They need the options to be available. We need commercial soft plastic recycling in Canberra (I am a business owner who generates soft plastic waste and I want to see it recycled appropriately.Julie Bray (Gungahlin, 2022-04-07)

I am signing because there are solutions for soft plastic recycling now and we should adopt them, the government should support this.Jody Bruce (Canberra , 2022-04-10)

We've used the trial and it's shocked us how much soft plastics is on everything and how small our red bin rubbish is now. It confuses me why we dont have a bin for soft plastics alreadyMichael Howe (Watson, 2022-04-10)

Signing because sustainability is essential for a positive future for our kids and I struggle to find sufficient places to take my soft plastics recycling. I would also be happy to support purchasing products made from these materials but it’s not clear that we are closing this loopVeronica Doerr (Canberra, 2022-04-10)

We need to recycle soft plastics until we have more completely bio degradable alternativesRobyn Sirr (Downer, 2022-04-12)

We already collect all our plastic, there needs to be less plastic and more recycling for what we use. There is no future on a dead planet.Michael Fawke (Spence, 2022-04-13)
