Support and education has been delivered to more than 23,000 businesses and retailers around the state ahead of the upcoming 1 November single use plastic bans in NSW, with information delivered in 15 different languages.
Minister for Environment James Griffin MP said to ensure small businesses are primed for more changes this year, the NSW Government engaged the National Retail Association (NRA) to deliver a massive retailer education campaign.
From November, the NSW Government is banning single-use items including:
🔘 plastic straws, stirrers, cutlery, plates, bowls and cotton buds
🔘 food ware and cups made from expanded polystyrene
🔘 rinse-off personal care products containing plastic microbeads.
This comes after lightweight single-use plastic bags were banned in NSW from 1 June.
