According to Australian media reports, Australia’s South Australia parliament passed a bill banning the use of disposable plastics on the 10th, but the implementation of the new regulations will be postponed to 2021 due to the impact of the new epidemic.
South Australia will become the first state in Australia to ban the use of disposable plastic products, SBS reported. At that time, disposable plastic products such as straws, tableware and beverage mixers will be banned. People with disabilities or medical needs can be exempted. Since then, other plastic products will gradually be added to the banned list, striving to eliminate the use of disposable plastic products in the next few years.
South Australia’s environment minister, David spears, said there was strong support from the community and industry to ban disposable plastic products. Many families and businesses have taken steps.
It is reported that South Australia has been in the forefront of the whole Australia in terms of plastic restriction. In 2009, South Australia became the first state to ban the use of disposable plastic bags in supermarkets and retail stores.
