As you may be aware, the ACT is banning plastic bags from 1 November 2011.
 
Plastic bags made of polyethylene polymer with a thickness of less than 35 microns will be banned. These thin plastic bags with handles are used to carry retail goods.
 
The ACT’s plastic bag ban is a 2-step process. The transition to the ban starts on 1 July 2011 and the ban comes into full effect on 1 November 2011.
 
We are working on an awareness campaign to ensure that both retailers and the community are well prepared for the ban. We have posters, brochures and some materials to try help residents remember to take their own bags including a door hanger and a car sticker.
 
Further information on the ban is available on our website www.environment.act.gov.au.
