Mr Phillip Weickhardt
Inquiry into Waste Generation and Resource Efficiency in Australia
Productivity Commission
LB2, Collins Street East
MELBOURNE  VIC  8003

Dear Commissioner Weickhardt,

I would prefer to purchase products that are lightly packaged in recyclable material only.

Could your enquiry consider a product packaging rating system (0-5 stars) requiring manufacturers to identify the rating on the packaging (eg. One layer of recyclable packaging would rate 5 stars; 4 layers of non-recyclable packaging would rate 0 stars). This would allow consumers to identify those products (and producers) which recycle easily and thus reduce waste.

Yours sincerely

Ron Coleman
