'Single-use plastic plates and bowls, plastic-stemmed cotton buds and the
little tables that come in pizza boxes will be banned from September next year
in South Australia under a plan announced by the state government.
Single-use plastic food containers and plastic cups for coffee and cold drinks
will be banned the year after, along with produce bags and heavier
boutique-style plastic bags.
Plastic fruit stickers, soy sauce fish and straws attached to fruit boxes will
be banned from September 2025.
Environment Minister Susan Close announced the new timetable for banning the
products while at the Adelaide Zoo this morning.
"The idea of plastic is to take and use and throw away, that's gone now," she
said.
"People no longer want to be part of that; they don't want to have that as the
only alternative in front of them."
Consultation will open on the plan in February.'
