Thick plastic bags from supermarkets and department stores will be banned in the ACT from next year under the territory government's plan to phase out single-use plastics in Canberra.
Single-use plastic plates and bowls will also be banned in the territory in a matter of weeks, with the ban to take effect on July 1.
Plastic microbeads in rinse-off personal care and cleaning products and expanded polystyrene loose fill packaging and polystyrene trays will also be banned from July.
