Proposal to ban more single-use plastics leaves ACT businesses, charities searching for viable, safe alternatives
Takeaway food orders could soon come packaged differently in Canberra with plastic containers part of the next stage of the ACT government's plan to phase out single-use plastics.
Under the proposed changes, single-use plastic plates and bowls, heavyweight plastic bags and microbeads in cosmetic and cleaning products would also be banned in the territory from July next year.
As the government seeks community consultation on the additional bans, some Canberra businesses and charities are already investigating alternatives — and raising some concerns in the process.
