Tell us what you think we can do to address the environmental impacts associated with single-use plastic products.

What is being decided?

Single-use plastics are attracting considerable local, national and international interest. Here in South Australia, the community has increasingly been calling for action on items such as plastic bags, coffee cups and polystyrene.

The Turning the tide on single-use plastic products Discussion Paper invites you to consider:

• which single-use plastic items we should focus on
• the community and business impacts of any government action in relation to those items
• what are the best approaches government could take to address the issue of single-use plastics (eg. legislation, education, incentives).

You can also read a summary of the discussion paper.
