Details of the request
I would appreciate it if you could give me a list of all grants that were made by MFE to the following groups since the landfill levy was implemented, plus the amount granted and a brief outline of what the grants were for:
• The Packaging Council of New Zealand
• The Packaging Forum
• The Glass Packaging Forum
• The Public Space Recycling Scheme
• Love NZ
• Plastics New Zealand
• Coca Cola
• Lion Nathan
• The NZ Beverage Council (NZBC) (formerly I think the NZ Juice and beverage
Council)
• Keep NZ Beautiful
• Sustainable Coastlines
• EBAG (The Environmental Beverage Action Group) set up to create a unified beverage action group to ensure a CRS was not introduced some time ago). Now defunct as the risk of a CRS subsided.
The request was subsequently amended to include “a copy
of the PWC cost benefit analysis of the proposed container return scheme”.
