This session will inform businesses on South Australia's single-use and other plastic products legislation, including changes announced by the South Australia government which are effective from 1 September 2024. It will cover the current and upcoming legislation details and outline how Plastic Free SA can support businesses in preparing for these plastic product bans, in engaging with suppliers ahead of these bans, and in reviewing current packaging to find sustainable alternatives.

Plastic Free SA offers free support and tailored resources to help businesses transition away from single-use plastics. The initiative is funded by the South Australian government agency Green Industries SA. Plastic Free SA is also part of the Boomerang Alliance’s Plastic Free Places program, which has helped businesses eliminate over 30 million single-use plastic items nationally.
