New Zealand Bans Single Use Plastic Bags In World First

Jul 4 2023

New Zealand has just become the first country in the world to ban thin plastic bags as well as plastic straws and silverware.

The ban, which went into effect last Saturday, is a campaign by the government against single-use plastics which contribute to the production of half of the plastic every year.

Customers in New Zealand were already somewhat used to such bans, bringing their own reusable tote bags ever since take-home plastic bags were banned in 2019.

Exceptions are being made for supermarkets, pharmacies, hospitality venues and health and disability centres when using plastic straws for people with disabilities.

According to Associate Environment Minister Rachel Brooking, the 2019 ban had already prevented over 1 billion plastic bags from being used in New Zealand.

The hope is that the new ban on thing bags would reduce it further by 150 million bags per year.
