Line 9:

* Recycling of 65% of municipal waste by 2035

* Reduction in the amount of of municipal waste sent to landfill to a maximum of 10% by 2035.

* Targets for the recycling of packaging waste have also been published ~~but these are not as stringent as those currently required under~~ the ~~Producer Responsibility Obligations (~~Packaging Waste) (~~Amendment~~) ~~Regulations 2017 as shown above~~.

* Targets for the recycling of packaging waste have also been published and have been placed on the [[Packaging Waste]] page.

Reduce residual waste (excluding major mineral wastes) kg per capita by 50% by 2042 from the 2019 level of approximately 560kg per capita.
