Single Use Plastics Ban
The Victorian Government banned single-use plastics from sale and supply from 1 February 2023. This includes drinking straws, cutlery and plates, drink stirrers and sticks, cotton bud sticks and expanded polystyrene food and drink containers. Items made from conventional, degradable and compostable plastics, including bioplastic and oxo-degradable materials, will also be included in the ban. The ban will affect retail and hospitality businesses, suppliers and other businesses, organisations and not-for-profits such as hospitals, sports clubs and schools. There are many great reusable options and alternative single use items, get ideas from Sustainability Victoria.
