Single Use Plastic Ban

From 1 February 2023, the Victorian Government banned the sale and supply of single-use plastics. This ban includes plastic items made from conventional, degradable, and compostable materials, including bioplastics.

Accepting Reusables at Your Business

Using reusable containers is legal and provides an easy, affordable, and sustainable solution for businesses to comply with the single-use plastic ban. Benefits of adopting reusables include:

• Cost Savings: Reduce expenses on disposable packaging
• Customer Loyalty: Encouraging reusables can attract customers who appreciate your commitment to sustainability
• Waste Reduction: Minimize the amount of waste going to landfill and polluting our environment.
