Plastic Bags - The price We Pay

Australians pay a big price for using plastic bags – from the devastation they cause to our unique natural environment, to the financial cost to the retail sector of supplying plastic bags to customers…the price we pay for using plastic bags really adds up.

1. Plastic Bags are costing you more than you think

Plastic bags are a serious threat to our environment and natural resources - not only do they spoil our parks and beaches - but they can also take up to 1000 years to break down.

Plastic bags are responsible for blocking drains and harming our wildlife - both marine and land-based animals.

As a retailer, you can help put an end to this destruction and show your customers that you're environmentally responsible by simply saying NO to plastic bags.

Plastic Bags - What's it costing the country?

Plastic bags are costing our country more than you'd think...
The cost to the environment alone is huge - Australians used 5 billion plastic bags last year with many millions ending up as litter, blocking waterways and harming our wildlife.

What's more, at the current rate of usage, our capital cities will reach their present landfill capacity by 2010.

The financial cost of rectifying environmental problems caused by plastic bag waste and litter is enormous, not to mention the total economic cost to the Australian retail sector of supplying plastic bags to customers.
