Why become a COFOSS member?

Navigate Regulatory Complexity

Evolving laws around repairability, environmental reporting, and extended producer responsibility (EPR) are increasing compliance risk—especially with growing scrutiny of green claims and anti-competitive behaviour. COFOSS gives members clarity, guidance, and collective strategies to navigate regulatory complexity and build credibility.

Share the Load, Cut the Costs

Transitioning to circular product and packaging systems is expensive—especially for smaller operators. COFOSS supports  collaborative approaches and shared stewardship models that reduce duplication, build scale, spread costs, and drive efficiency across the industry.

Respond to Changing Consumer Expectations

Consumers are demanding more sustainable, repairable, and recyclable products—but there's a gap between intent and action. COFOSS intends to help bridge that gap with clear messaging, sector-wide campaigns, and consistent consumer communication that builds trust and brand value.

Drive Environmental Impact

E-waste, Scope 3 emissions, packaging waste—our footprint is under the microscope. COFOSS aligns directly with the national circular economy and net zero goals, helping you reduce environmental risk and accelerate your sustainability journey.

Why COFOSS?

Australia’s Consumer Electronics and Home Appliance sectors 
are facing:

  • Rising regulatory pressure across states and territories
  • Mounting e-waste and packaging waste challenges
  • Growing demand for transparency from governments 
and consumers
COFOSS is positioned to be the coordinated response: bringing industry together to influence policy, trial solutions, and implement stewardship models that work.
