A ban on soy sauce fish is in effect in South Australia

Single-use soy sauce fish are now banned in South Australia.

The state is slowly phasing out single-use plastics.

While the fish are made from a type of plastic that can be recycled, “their fiddly size makes [this] almost impossible,” according to Adelaide Hills Council.

The ban also includes plastic straws attached to food or drink products, e.g. on juice boxes/poppers.

Previous bans

State and territory governments are individually implementing gradual phase-outs of harmful plastic products.
