SOY SAUCE FISH BAN
South Australia will become the first state in Australia to ban these soy sauce fish containers, but the decision has caused a bit of debate. You might be familiar with these tiny containers of soy sauce, you know, the ones you can get with your sushi? Well, they'll be officially banned in South Australia from the first of September! It's news a lot of people aren't too happy with. It's all part of South Australia's crackdown on single-use plastics, which experts say are causing harm to our environment. They say the packaging is hard to recycle because it's too small to be processed by sorting machines so it often end up in landfill or in the environment where it can take hundreds of years to break down. So what can you use instead? Experts say the best option is to use the re-fillable containers of soy sauce at restaurants, but if you need to, you can still use soy sauce sachets, because while sachets still count as single-use plastics, experts say they're less likely to be littered and end up in the environment.
