Manukau Harbour Forum feedback into the Ministry for the Environment's 'Reducing the impact of plastic on our environment: moving away from hard-to-recycle and single-use items' consultation

File No.: CP2020/15096

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide opportunity for the Manukau Harbour Forum to append its collective feedback to Auckland Council’s submission on the Ministry for the Environment’s consultation document: ‘Reducing the impact of plastic on our environment: Moving away from hard-to-recycle and single-use items’.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Ministry for the Environment is consulting on proposed mandatory phase-outs of specific hard-to-recycle plastic packaging materials and single-use items sold, used, and manufactured in Aotearoa New Zealand.

3.       The main policy objective presented in the consultation document (attachment A) is to “reduce the impact on our resource recovery system and environment from hard-to-recycle plastic packaging and single-use items through significantly reducing the amount in use”.

4.       The consultation document presents eight options to reduce the environmental impacts of specific plastic materials and products. Of those considered, a mandatory phase-out (option six) is the Ministry’s preferred option.

5.       A mandatory phase-out would apply to specific hard-to-recycle plastic packaging types, and for certain single-use items, using the same mechanism as the plastic shopping bag ban in 2018, which the council supported in its submission.

6.       The consultation document seeks feedback on the following two proposals to achieve a mandatory phase-out. These could be implemented together or separately:

·    Proposal 1: phasing out hard-to-recycle plastic packaging made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polystyrene packaging, and all oxo-degradable plastic products.

·    Proposal 2: a phase-out of specified single-use plastic items, including plastic straws and fruit stickers.

7.       Local board feedback is due 28 October 2020 in order to meet the consultation deadline of 4 November 2020. Local board feedback received after 30 September and before 28 October 2020 will be appended to council’s submission.

8.       This is the opportunity to provide feedback as the Manukau Harbour Forum with its specific lens, as an appended submission, to the regional submission in October 2020.

9.       The Manukau Harbour Forum is a collective comprised of representatives of the nine Auckland local boards on the shores of the Manukau Harbour.

10.     It is anticipated that in addition to any individual local board view that member boards may which to place collective feedback on this matter from a Manukau Harbour Forum collective perspective.

11.     The Manukau Harbour Forum was created in response to concern about the deteriorating state of the Manukau Harbour and the urgent need for a collaborative response to improve its condition.

12.     The Manukau Harbour Forum’s objectives are to:

·    raise the profile of the Manukau Harbour

·    ensure there is a robust knowledge base to support integrated management

·    champion and advocate for the development and implementation of planning frameworks and projects to support the integrated management of the Manukau Harbour

·    ensure there are sufficient resources, including staff input and budget, to support the Forum to deliver on its vision.
