Earlier this year, NSW EPA heard feedback on the NSW Plastics: Next Steps issues paper, which helped to inform the development of proposed actions on plastic pollution in NSW. and have now developed NSW Plastics: The Way Forward.
The NSW Government has now published the NSW Plastics: The Way Forward action paper, outlining proposed bans and action on plastic from 2025 to 2030.
The Paper proposes actions to:
- reduce highly littered plastic items in the environment
- remove harmful chemicals from plastics and prevent the release of microplastics into the environment
- align with the approaches of other states and territories in Australia, where doing so will achieve better outcomes for the environment, communities and businesses.
The NSW Government is consulting with the community, environment groups, businesses, industry, and other key stakeholders to understand whether the actions put forward in the paper will be an effective way to reduce the harm of unnecessary and problematic plastic in our society.
Your views on the actions proposed in the Paper are highly valued and will help to refine the proposed actions to address single-use, unnecessary, and problematic plastics in NSW.
