Resources for retailers
A range of resources have been developed to help retailers with the phase out of lightweight, checkout-style plastic bags. Use these resources as part of your own staff and customer communications to explain the change.
Retailer information kit
An information kit has been sent to all South Australian retailers to help retailers and their customers to adjust to the change. If you need more copies of the kit please call the Plastic Bag Ban Hotline on 1300 137 118.
All files are PDF. You may need to download the free Adobe PDF reader, available here.
