This ban DOES NOT APPLY to:

  • Thicker plastic bags (over 35 microns) like those from major supermarkets and boutique stores
  • Barrier bags such as produce and deli bags, bin liners and compost caddy liners, nappy bags and pet waste bags

The National Retail Association is hosting daily 10am webinars about the bans.
