More single-use plastics to be banned in SA from September

Stop ordering products on the banned list and run down existing stock before 1 September 2025.

Read the guides and develop a plan for serving reusable options.

If you have excess stock products, speak with your supplier. There may be options to sell or supply excess stock to interstate customers or to repurpose it for other uses.

If you have large or commercial quantities of stock (excluding EPS), contact YCA Recycling.

When ordering replacements, confirm with your supplier if the items meet the requirements under South Australian legislation requirements. Are the items food grade quality? Do they contain coatings or glues that affect their use?

View the full list of suggested questions at Replace the Waste or use the guidelines to help you choose the right products.

Train your team about the upcoming bans so they can explain the changes to customers should questions arise. Use signage or online updates to let customers know you have moved to sustainable alternatives.
