Iceland’s Banned Ad Had the Potential to Democratise Sustainability
The news last week that the Christmas advert from Iceland — a UK supermarket chain specializing in frozen food — has been banned is a bad decision. Iceland’s advert — a repackaging of a short, animated film by Greenpeace released earlier this year with a powerful, consumer-friendly sustainability message — shows a brand that is trying to do good work by improving its impact on the world.

Tasmania is getting a container refund scheme. Here’s how it will work
Nearly 50 years after South Australians were able to receive a partial refund for recycling bottles and cans, Tasmania is finally catching up. Key points: Tasmania’s container refund scheme is set to begin operating in the first half of 2023. Under the scheme, consumers will receive a 10-cent refund for every eligible container they recycle through a refund point. The location of refund points will be determined in coming months. Previously promised to be introduced in 2022, Tasmania’s container refund scheme is now set to come in during the first half of 2023. Drink containers are one of the most commonly littered items in Tasmania, with a survey conducted in 2018 finding they made up about 45 per cent of litter in the state, by volume. The state government hopes the incoming container refund scheme will reduce that. Tasmania’s scheme will look very similar to other states’ schemes, as the aim is for a nationally consistent approach.
