Public Consultation now open - NSW Plastics: The Way forward

We are seeking feedback from community, industry, business and all interested stakeholders on our proposed actions and timeframes to address unnecessary and problematic plastics.

The NSW Plastics: The Way Forward action plan proposes new initiatives including:

• phasing out items like plastic lollipop sticks, pizza savers and food tags for bread, bakery and pantry items 

• bringing NSW into line with other states and phasing out the release of lighter-than-air balloons as well as the supply of plastic balloon sticks, clips and ties 

• introducing design standards for single-use plastic cups, food containers and their lids to ensure they are easily recyclable

• phasing out the supply of unnecessary plastic barrier bags. 

NSW Plastics: The Way Forward is now available on the NSW EPA’s Have Your Say website. We encourage you to provide your feedback via the survey or a written submission via email to [email protected].

Public consultation is open until 5pm Monday 4 November 2024.
