Consultation Regulation Impact Statement – Phasing out certain waste exports: 

“The current RIS process is not ideal. Central policy decisions have already been taken and limited further detail of the overall policy suite is available for stakeholders to react to. Nonetheless the RIS raises important issues and we recognise the importance of building a successful circular economy globally and within Australia. The prospects for that goal will depend at least as much on complementary efforts to develop financially sustainable markets for recovered materials as on the timing and implementation of the export bans themselves.”
