The Packaging Stewardship Forum (PSF) was established in May 2006 to deliver a voluntary product stewardship program on behalf of Australia’s largest beverage companies and their packaging suppliers. It works with business, government and community partners across Australia to deliver recycling, litter reduction and education programs on behalf of its members, Australia’s largest beverage companies and their packaging suppliers.
PSF programs target Australia's major away from home venues, places where large numbers of people gather and consume beverage packaging that can readily be recycled. New installations are now reaching more than 1.1 billion away from home visits annually and making it just as easy for people to recycle when they're away from home as it is when they're at home.
