Australia's National Packaging Covenant is a voluntary initiative to reduce the environmental effects of used packaging on the environment. Industry, government and community groups sign and commit to improved environmental packaging outcomes. Signing is voluntary, yet brand owners who do not sign may face state government regulations to ensue that signatories are not disadvantaged. The covenant has over 640 signatories.
The NPC has come up with an Environmental Code of Practice for Packaging, which includes a questionnaire for design. The code is also available on Schedule 5 of the NPC.
