ResiLoop Limited

On 28 June 2024, ResiLoop Limited (ResiLoop) lodged an application for authorisation to establish and operate a voluntary, industry-led product stewardship scheme to collect and recycle resilient flooring waste (Scheme). The Scheme will be funded by a product levy of no more than 15 cents per square metre applied to certain categories of resilient flooring products. The product levy will be passed transparently through the value chain (e.g. by direct reference on the invoice to the scale of the product levy and the relevant products included in the purchase).

ResiLoop sought authorisation on behalf of itself, its members and participants in the Scheme for a period of 6 years.

ResiLoop also sought interim authorisation for all aspects of the Scheme.

On 16 August 2024, the ACCC issued a draft determination proposing to grant authorisation to ResiLoop to enable it to establish and operate the Scheme. The ACCC proposes to grant authorisation to ResiLoop for a period of 6 years.

The ACCC has also granted interim authorisation to enable ResiLoop to implement all aspects of the Scheme, including the imposition of the product levy to fund collection, transportation and supply of member waste to recyclers and manufacturers. Further information on the interim authorisation and draft determination decision are available below.

The ACCC invites the views of interested parties on the draft determination. Submissions are requested by 30 August 2024.

If you wish to make a submission in relation to this matter, please lodge it via this web form.

An indicative timetable is set out below. Any changes to this timeline will be published here.
