WELLINGTON: Plastic soy sauce bottles shaped like fish are popular among takeout sushi eaters in many counties. But restaurants in the state of South Australia were banned from offering the decorative containers to customers beginning Monday (Sept 1) in a new measure enacted to curb plastic waste.
The state of 1.9 million was the first in Australia to enact a prohibition on the fish-shaped bottles. South Australia's government has annually added new items to its list of banned plastics, making the measures the country's most comprehensive.
