This guidance outlines the eligibility of PETCANS containers under Western Australia’s container deposit scheme (CDS). It explains what PETCANS are, why their mixed‑material design makes them unsuitable for standard recycling processes, and how they fail to meet approval criteria under relevant legislation.
The document also sets out the implications for first responsible suppliers, including the likelihood that PETCANS applications will be refused and that such containers cannot be supplied without approval.
