Important Notice

The Recycling Games is currently in Expression of Interest (EOI) phase. This website represents a proposed framework pending government evaluation and regulatory approval. The information presented is subject to change based on legislative requirements and stakeholder feedback.

1. Data & Research Disclaimer

The content on this website is provided for informational and research purposes only. Data presented has been compiled from publicly available government publications, annual reports, parliamentary inquiries, and regulatory documents. Due to the limited transparency and inconsistent reporting standards across Container Deposit Scheme coordinators, some figures involve cross-referencing multiple sources, interpolation, or estimation. Readers should treat all data as indicative of documented trends rather than precise point estimates, and are encouraged to consult primary source documents where available.

2. Data Accuracy & Limitations

While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of information on this website, granular CDS performance data — particularly the separation of scheme-only returns from kerbside material recovery facility (MRF) contributions — is not consistently published in standardised formats by all scheme coordinators. Where direct figures are unavailable, we have reconstructed values using confirmed anchor points (pre-scheme baselines and current-year totals) and documented cross-references. We do not claim precision on intermediate-year estimates. All confirmed figures are sourced from official annual reports, regulatory publications, and parliamentary inquiries. Information may be updated as new annual reports are released.

3. Limitation of Liability

The Recycling Games, its operators, and affiliated parties shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of or reliance on information contained on this website, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

4. Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of external websites. Your use of third-party websites is at your own risk and subject to their terms and conditions.

5. Experimental Nature

The Recycling Games is an experimental program. Results, timelines, and implementation details are subject to change. Participation does not guarantee any specific outcome.

6. Government Program Status

This initiative has not been endorsed or officially approved by any government body. The Recycling Games represents a proposed framework that is undergoing evaluation. Any implementation is contingent upon regulatory approval and legislative changes.

7. Indemnification

By using this website, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Recycling Games, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from your use of the website or violation of this disclaimer.

8. Contact for Clarifications
