Banned in Western Australia and ineligible for container-refund schemes, the single-use plastic-metal hybrid can won the first Unpackit award for worst packaging, conferred by the Australian Marine Conservation Society, Plastic Free Foundation and WWF-Australia. Australians use an estimated 1.3m tonnes of plastic packaging annually, nearly 60% of all collected litter.
