Overview of the Submission:

The IPA supports the proposals outlined in the interim report and commends the effort to advance the circular economy agenda in Australia. We firmly believe that increased investment and comprehensive research in this field are beneficial and essential. Australia has lagged behind international counterparts in adopting and implementing robust circular economy initiatives and regulations, and decisive action is now critical to rectify this. The transition towards a circular economy presents significant opportunities for innovation,
economic growth, and environmental sustainability, and we urge a proactive and ambitious approach. However, there is further research and guidance required.
