The Containers for Change scheme pricing framework consultation closed on 1 August 2025. COEX received more than 30 individual submissions and multiple submissions from peak bodies representing more than 3,000 members from across Australia’s beverage industry.
Next steps
An independent third party is currently analysing all feedback to identify key themes, preferred options and opportunities for improvement. This comprehensive review ensures beverage manufacturer input directly informs our recommendations for a more sustainable and efficient pricing framework.
We will share those key themes and insights once the analysis is finalised. Some recommendations may require additional investigation. We will continue to engage with beverage manufacturers and industry associations to seek feedback on next steps. Any changes will be evidence-based and designed to support long-term scheme sustainability.
A robust pricing framework is essential to balance scheme sustainability and manufacturer experience and ensure we continue to deliver strong environmental outcomes.
