Description of Conduct
On 21 August 2018 AgStewardship Australia Limited applied for revocation of its previous authorisation (A91382) and its substitution with a new authorisation, relating to the operation of its drumMUSTER and ChemClear programs, which provide for the collection of used, unwanted, empty agricultural and veterinary chemical containers and chemicals, funded by a voluntary levy on manufacturers and suppliers of the chemicals.
AgStewardship sought re-authorisation of the arrangements for a further five years, and to increase the levy, which has been 4 cents per litre/kg since it was first imposed in 1999, to 6 cents per litre/kg.
A copy of the application and submission are available by following the links below.
On 19 December 2018 the ACCC granted re-authorisation to the arrangements until 10 January 2024, including the proposed levy increase.
