The government has confirmed it will go ahead with a planned ban of expanded polystyrene loose packaging and cotton buds with plastic stems from September 1.<\/p>\n<p>Plastic microbeads in personal care and cleaning products will also be outlawed next month, as well as the outdoor release of lighter-than-air balloons. Environment Minister Leanne Linard said September 1 would also mark the start of new restrictions for plastic shopping bags, such as those used in department stores. The government is expected to make regulation changes before the end of the month to bring the ban into effect.<\/p>\n<p>Single-use plastic straws, stirrers, plates, bowls, forks, spoons, and knives are already banned in Queensland under rules that were introduced in September 2021. The distribution of expanded polystyrene takeaway food containers and cups is also already outlawed.<\/p>\n<p>The government unveiled a five-year road map last year that proposed banning a range of single-use items and listed when those potential bans would come into effect. Plastic drinking cups, oxo-degradable plastics, expanded polystyrene trays, and single-use produce bags are among the items identified in the road map that could be banned from September 2024. Bread bag tags, balloon sticks, and corflute tree guards could also be outlawed at the same time under the government&#8217;s proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2023-08-03\/balloon-releases-among-plastic-bans-queensland-september\/102677646\">ABC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-376\/\">Balloon releases, cotton buds with plastic stems to be banned in Queensland from September<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,5692,8168],"class_list":["post-115893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-ban","tag-queensland"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115893\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
