Figure 16-7: Economic Cost per Tonne <strong>of</strong> Packaging Recovered Under Each Option<br />

Working Group, March 2009.<br />

The study concludes:<br />

333<br />

Direct comparison between CDS and ADF indicates that CDS is only superior if<br />

significant weight is given to litter benefits and little weight given to packaging<br />

other than beverage containers. Sensitivity analysis <strong>of</strong> key design parameters<br />

provides confidence in this finding. Further, the ADF design investigated in this<br />

study focussed on resource recovery, whereas an alternative strategy which<br />

invested at least some ADF revenue on litter reduction programs could be<br />

expected to deliver greater litter benefits.<br />

The study also estimated costs <strong>of</strong> the deposit scheme in South Australia, which it<br />

reported as in Table 16-8, though the model assessed was based upon the<br />

Californian model.<br />
