The NSW Government has launched the NSW Plastics: The Way Forward action paper which sets out proposed actions to tackle unnecessary and problematic plastics and the timeframes for implementation.

Proposed actions and timeframes are presented under three key themes:

  • reducing plastic litter
  • reducing harmful chemicals in plastics and microplastics and
  • keeping pace on plastics action.

This action paper has been developed based on input from stakeholders and the community, including feedback during our consultation from October 2023 to February 2024. 

We are now seeking feedback from community, industry, business and all interested stakeholders on:

  • the potential benefits and risks associated with the proposed actions
  • considerations for the implementation of their proposed actions (including on their scope, timeframes, definitions, and exemptions)
  • alternative options that should be considered by the NSW Government.

Have your say

You can find a copy of the paper NSW Plastics: The Way Forward, a summary of what we heard via consultation and provide your feedback here. To provide your feedback, please take the survey or provide a written submission via email. 

We encourage you to share the opportunity to provide feedback on NSW Plastics: The Way Forward with your networks.

The 8-week consultation will be open until 5pm on Monday 4 November 2024.
