Single-use plastic plates and bowls and cotton buds next to be banned in South Australia

Single-use plastic plates and bowls, plastic-stemmed cotton buds and the little tables that come in pizza boxes will be banned from September next year in South Australia under a plan announced by the state government.

Single-use plastic food containers and plastic cups for coffee and cold drinks will be banned the year after, along with produce bags and heavier boutique-style plastic bags.
