The South Australian Business Chamber Today — 10 February, 2022
The Single-use and Other Plastic Products (Waste Avoidance) Act 2020 came into operation on 1 March 2021. On 1 March 2022, expanded polystyrene (EPS) cups, bowls, plates and clamshell containers will be prohibited from sale, supply or distribution in South Australia. This date has been included in the legislation since its commencement and aligns with the Government’s July 2019 commitment that these products will be prohibited 12 months following the initial products.
The Government of South Australia is seeking feedback on single-use plastic products and a range of alternatives that are reusable, recyclable or compostable.
The consultation is open until 19 February 2022.
