Plastic bags are banned in New Zealand, and Australia wide after New South Wales recently committed to banning lightweight plastic shopping bags from 1 June 2022.
In Western Australia, the ban on plastic bags is intensifying with all plastic bags with handles that are made wholly or partly of plastic to be banned from 1 July 2022.
The ban on plastic bags is about protecting our environment for now and for future generations.
And now, both state and federal governments are making moves to ban other problematic single-use plastic items.
The ban on plastic bags is about protecting our environment for now and for future generations.
In Australia, around 3.2 billion plastic bags were being used every year and while the majority of these ended up in landfill, around 40million bags would enter the environment every year.
Bans on other single-use plastic products are now also being implemented. For information on these foodservice product bans, head to Detpak.com.

Plastic Bag Bans – The Impact
“900 million plastic bags were saved in Queensland during the first year of the plastic bag ban.”
Banning plastic bags across both Australia and New Zealand has seen a shift in consumer behaviour in their everyday shopping, with reusable or recyclable bags the norm.
Since banning plastic bags, South Australia has highlighted a 45% decrease in the percentage of plastic bags contributing to the litter stream, the Australian Capital Territory recorded a 36% decrease.
Consumer sentiment has been generally positive toward legislative efforts. In Victoria, one of the more recent states to outlaw lightweight plastic bags, 96% of consumers indicated support of the ban.
Naturally Better

Unlike other alternatives, paper bags are:

When made from quality, sustainable raw materials, paper bags offer equal or better strength than their plastic equivalents.
