Tackling Plastic Waste — Queensland's Plastic Pollution Reduction Plan

Waste Reduction and Recycling (Plastic Items) Amendment Bill 2020

This bill bans single-use plastic straws, stirrers, plates, bowls and cutlery in Queensland to reduce plastic pollution. Healthcare facilities, pharmacies and schools are exempt so people with disabilities and healthcare needs can still access these items. The ban can be expanded to additional plastic products by regulation after public consultation.
