Proposed scheme

Voluntary scheme based on

shared responsibility & Govt

complimentary measures

Broad scope - phasing focused

on demand & market realities

Funded by a levy of $0.04 on

imports of EBU

Pressure on free riders from member to

member agreements

Member obligations, accreditation,

& verification

Rebate <$7-10 kg focused on

market failures

Leveraging approach to rapid

uptake of existing channels

Transparent governance & supply

by ACCC

Overall goal to reduce current burden on communities & enable maximum flexibility and adaptability

Shared responsibilityPay for the product, including cost of levy if passed on

Have indicated a preference for responsible management

Report imports to independent body, pay levy, implement battery standards,

promote scheme to retailers & customers

Purchase batteries from scheme members, ensure batteries dropped off are

managed in the scheme, provide accredited drop off point if appropriate

Funding for scaling infrastructure, ongoing burden of disposal, pro-active

procurement (batteries from scheme members) , regulations, & enforcement
