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.
