Last chance today to make your submission on phasing out a list of the worst of the single-use plastics. Take 5 minutes - do it now! Click here: https://consult.environment.govt.nz/waste/plastics/ Proposal one is a phase out of hard-to-recycle plastic types like polyvinyl chloride (plastic type 3) food and beverage packaging, polystyrene food and beverage packaging and expanded polystyrene (plastic type 6), and all oxo-degradable plastic items.
Proposal two seeks feedback on phasing-out more single-use plastic items like produce bags, drink stirrers, non-compostable fruit stickers, tableware, some cups and their lids, cotton buds, and straws. There's heaps more information on the link above if you want to delve deep into it. |
