Single-use Plastics Legislation Stage 2
South Australians are continuing their commitment to protecting the environment with stage 2 of the Single-use and Other Plastic Products (Waste Avoidance) Act 2020 coming into effect on March 1, 2022. Now is the time to prepare so we can ensure the best environmental outcome for our ‘clean and green’ state.
From March 1, 2022, expanded polystyrene cups, bowls, plates, clamshell containers and all oxo-degradable plastic products will be prohibited from sale, supply, and distribution. Oxo-degradable products are also prohibited from production and manufacture in South Australia.
