Urge the NT Government to ban single-use plastics!

The Northern Territory government is asking for your feedback on whether they should ban single-use plastics.

Right now, our turtles and local wildlife are being killed by plastic pollution in our oceans. Already over half of all turtles have plastic in their stomachs.

The NT Government has proposed a ban on single-use plastics as part of their draft Circular Economy Strategy, but they intend to wait until 2025 to do it. 

2025 is not good enough, when our turtles are being killed by plastic today.

Public feedback is open until 14 February - have your say today!

Tell the NT Government, it’s time to join the rest of Australia phase out all the most common and dangerous single-use plastics for wildlife:

  • Straws & drink stirrers

  • Cutlery

  • Polystyrene food & drink containers

  • Plates & bowls

  • Cotton bud sticks

  • Fruit & veggie bags

  • Thick plastic bags

  • Plastic cups & lids

  • Coffee cups containing plastic

  • Plastic takeaway containers

We are also encouraging the NT Government to improve waste and recycling by:

  • Upgrading the NT’s waste and recycling facilities, to dramatically improve our recycling rates.

  • Cracking down on greenwashing, banning products that claim to be ‘compostable’ yet don’t meet Australian compost standards.

  • Expanding the Container Deposit Scheme so that other containers such as wine bottles and milk bottles can be returned for a 10c refund.

Join the Keep Top End Coasts Healthy alliance in showing your support for cleaning up our oceans today!
