This Petition is aimed at Coca-Cola, Schweppes and Lion. Coca-cola, Schweppes and Lion have a lawsuit against the Northern Territory government, to stop their 10c container deposit scheme. Coca-Cola, Schweppes and Lion argued that the scheme breached Commonwealth law because it required different production processes for the same product in different states and territories.

This lawsuit has sparked a national boycott against these companies.

So what we are calling for is the development of a new nationally standardised reusable container scheme. This will reduce cost, waste, and damage to the environment, as well as increase profits in the long run.

So go on Coca-Cola, Schweppes and Lion, invest in reusable container technologies because that is what your customers want.

Stop putting profits before the planet. The NT scheme was working great and you guys just want to keep filling the world with plastic.
