Webinar on single-use plastic bans

The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), in partnership with the National Retail Association (NRA), is providing a free webinar for AIP members and affiliates on the single-use plastic bans across Australia and New Zealand on 6 December.

With six state-based single-use plastic bans in the last year and more coming as early as February, it is important for businesses to stay up to date with developments; especially as some of the future bans extend beyond takeaway food.

Ebony Johnson, Policy Manager, National Retail Association, will be hosting a dedicated session for AIP members and affiliates to provide a comprehensive update across all current and upcoming single-use plastic bans.

Johnson represents industry on multiple taskforces and committees, as well as managing many of the NRA’s business engagement programs. Johnson is working with governments across Australia and New Zealand to deliver engagement and education programs to impacted stakeholders. This year alone, the NRA team have engaged over 100,000 retailers, suppliers and community organisations on single-use plastic bans and related sustainability programs. The NRA manages the National Plastics Ban hotline, visits hundreds of stores every day and has detailed technical and commercial understanding of the ban implications for business.

As every single-use plastic ban varies in definitions, rules and items in scope, this session will help members and industry colleagues across Australia and New Zealand to receive a timely update in one concise session.
