The Newspaper Works executive director for environment Peter Netchaef said: “As a result of public education and curb-side recycling programs, Australia’s newspaper recycling rate is one of the best in the world, with 78 per cent of newsprint being recycled. We felt that this effort deserves recognition and is an opportunity to highlight the importance of our ongoing environmental responsibility, which is something the industry takes very seriously.”

The campaign is running in magazines and metro, suburban and regional newspapers across print and digital formats for nine weeks.

Participating publishers are News Corp Australia, Fairfax Media, APN News and Media, West Australian Newspapers, Pacific Magazines and Bauer Media titles.
