The Packaging Stewardship Forum was established in May 2006 as a forum of the Australian Food and Grocery Council. Its focus is on providing cost-effective resource recovery and litter reduction solutions that deliver real and measurable outcomes.
The Forum’s highly successful Do The Right Thing anti-litter campaign has proven to be the strongest litter prevention message since it was implemented, leading to a 70% reduction in litter in NSW between 1979 and 1990. Today Do The Right Thing is stronger than ever, with more than 80% of people recognising that Do The Right Thing means put your waste in the bin.
The Forum is also a major sponsor of Keep Australia Beautiful nationally, sponsoring Tidy Towns and Sustainable Communities Awards in every state during 2007-08.
The Packaging Stewardship Forum is a category partner of the Do the Right Thing Waste Management Award in the Keep Australia Beautiful NSW Tidy Towns and Sustainable Cities Awards.
