Take Action: Help Reduce Single-Use Plastics in Your State
Wednesday, 11 Sep, 2024
Plastic pollution is one of the biggest threats facing our ocean. From bustling city streets to remote beaches, plastic waste finds its way into every corner of our planet.
Did you know that approximately 36% of all plastics produced are used in packaging, including single-use plastic products for food and beverage containers? Approximately 85 per cent of which ends up in landfills or as unregulated waste.
It’s time to take action and have your say on the single-use plastic ban in your state!
The Tasmanian, South Australian, and New South Wales governments are currently seeking community feedback on phasing out single-use plastics.
We have provided the links to the survey for your state below - fill it out, share it with your community and stay informed about the changes your local government will implement.
