Barcode labelling grace period ends 1 November

21 Oct 2024 12:01 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

The grace period for beverage manufacturers selling glass wine and spirit containers in Queensland to register their product barcodes ends on 1 November 2024.

After this date, all-glass wine and spirits beverage manufacturers must ensure their products are registered with QLD Containers for Change and correctly labelled with a barcode as outlined in Section 99P of the Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011.


All beverage manufacturers have been sent reminders about the end of the grace period.

To abide by the legislation manufacturers will need to ensure:

  1. They are registered with QLD Containers for Change. Information on how to register is on their website here. *Note that the vast majority of beverage manufacturers are already registered.
  2. They access the business partner portal once registered, via their website here to register their product barcodes.

Note: While the product registration and barcode labelling must be completed by 1 November, the 10-cent refund mark is not required until 1 January 2027.

Thank you for your support. If you have any questions, you can contact Kristian Olofsson
