I have prohibited plastic items at home. Can I use these up?
South Australia’s single-use plastics legislation restricts the sale, supply or distribution of certain products.
It does not prohibit the use of items that have been purchased for personal use ahead of the bans commencing. Therefore, householders will be permitted to use up their supply of any of the prohibited plastic products they may have at home.
Before disposing of these items, you may like to consider whether they could be reused for other purposes prior to being discarded. For example, art, craft and science activities, or for growing seedlings.
