Question 1 of 2 · Clause 6

Phase-out of small plastic bottlesDo you support banning single-use plastic drink bottles smaller than 500ml within two years?

Small single-use plastic drink bottles under 500ml would be removed from sale over a two-year transition, pushing producers toward larger, reusable or non-plastic alternatives.

Show the original text (clause 6)
No person shall manufacture, import, distribute or sell single-use plastic drink bottles of a capacity of less than five hundred millilitres after the expiry of two years from the commencement of this Act.

Don't include your name, phone number, or anything else that could identify you.

Question 2 of 2 · Clause 10

Deposit-return schemeDo you support a deposit-return scheme where you pay a small refundable deposit on plastic bottles and get it back when you return them?

You would pay a small extra deposit when buying a bottled drink and get that money back when you return the empty bottle to a collection point, encouraging returns and recycling.

Show the original text (clause 10)
There is established a deposit-return scheme under which a refundable deposit shall be charged on every plastic drink bottle at the point of sale and refunded to any person who returns the empty bottle to a designated collection point.

Don't include your name, phone number, or anything else that could identify you.
