Do you agree with the proposed broad scope of beverage container material types to be included in the NZ CRS?

Given the large number of containers sold into the market and the relatively low return rates for containers, a NZ CRS that includes a broad scope of container materials is likely to create an easy-to-understand, convenient and effective scheme for consumers and businesses.  
 
We therefore propose that all single-use beverage containers would be in scope of the scheme and eligible for a refund if they are made from one or more of the following frequently bought beverage container materials:  glass, plastic (PET 1, HDPE 2, PP 5 and recyclable bio-based HDPE 2 and PET 1) metal (eg, aluminium and non-ferrous metals such as steel, tinplate and bimetals) and liquid paperboard. 

This approach will increase overall beverage container recovery, significantly reduce litter, and ensure a level playing field for beverage producers, reducing the risk of free riders.
