Coalition's $100m scheme to fund recycled products has spent no money

Labor and the Greens accuse the Morrison government of failing to deliver on its recycling and waste commitments

A $100m scheme to fund the manufacturing of products from recycled plastics and paper has not used any of its funding, nor supported any initiatives, since it was unveiled by the Morrison government ahead of the 2019 election.

Labor has accused the government of failing to deliver on its recycling and waste commitments after Senate estimates last week heard leaders in charge of the Recycling Investment Fund (Rif) haven't entered into any transactions at this point".
