As of January 1st 2010, The South Australian Government will impose a ban on plastic bags.
Environment minister Gail Gago has introduced legislation within state parliament for the ban, however supermarkets and takeaway shops will have until the 4th of may to comply with the new legislation.
During the four month phase in period shops still using lightweight plastic bags must also offer customers an "earth friendly" alternative. Australia has gone one step further than China, which stated this week that it would ban ultra-thin bags and force retailers to sell other types of carry bags.
Banning plastic bags is a huge move and will increase the communities desire to protect the environment!.
Plastic shopping bags are an environmental menace, there are four billion of them floating around the countryside, they pollute our environment, kill our wildlife, and they sit in landfill for decades taking up space on our planet. We believe that most Australians would like to see them rid.
"Fact: Less than 3 percent of plastic bags were recycled last year"
Small towns across Australia are taking there own initiative and banning plastic bags within there communities.
DynamicGift are doing there part for the environment by offering significant discounts and rebates to people purchasing our "earth friendly" Shopper bags with there custom logo and branding.
