SINGLE-USE PROBLEMATIC PLASTICS IN VICTORIA

Victoria is taking action against single-use problematic plastics.

Selected single-use plastic items were banned in February 2023, and additional items are under consideration for future bans as the Toward 2025 National Packaging Targets approach.

We're here to help you understand the Victoria plastic ban legislation and make the switch to suitable sustainable packaging solutions.

Victoria, we've got you covered.

VICTORIA PLASTIC BAN LEGISLATION EXPLAINED

Items already banned

From 1 February 2023:

  • Single-use plastic straws
  • Single-use plastic cutlery
  • Single-use plastic plates
  • Single-use plastic beverage stirrers and sticks
  • Single-use plastic expanded polystyrene food and drink containers
  • Single-use plastic cotton bud sticks

Exemptions

The legislation will not affect medical or scientific equipment, emergency management services or individuals who require particular single-use plastic products due to disability or for health and safety.

The Victorian government will work with the aged care and disability sectors to develop exemptions for individuals who require single-use plastic drinking straws or other single-use plastics reasons.
