To guide further actions to reduce the impacts of single-use plastics, the information and 9,464 submissions provided during consultation have been analysed and considered alongside scientific, evidence-based research.
Feedback from the consultation found that 98 per cent of respondents support further actions to reduce single-use plastics in Western Australia.
