South Australia will push ahead with a ban on some single-use plastics including straws and cutlery, after the implementation was put on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Key points:
There will be exemptions for people with a disability who need them
There will be an education campaign for businesses and the public
The ban will now come into place on March 1, 2021, making the state the first in the country to ban the products which also include drink stirrers.
