Regulations on Plastic Produce Stickers
From September 2025, the SA Government is prohibiting the use of traditional plastic data bar stickers on produce sold in South Australia. Certified compostable stickers are able to be used as an acceptable alternative.
Produce supplied to locations outside SA can continue to use plastic stickers, however we anticipate other states may follow with similar regulations over time. Produce to be sold in SA using plastic stickers will not be accepted into ARDC from 1 August 2025 to ensure sell-through before the regulation date. All F&V Suppliers that supply stock to SA were contacted last year to advise of the change and confirm readiness. Any Trade Partners with questions regarding this ban should contact [email protected] to be connected with the Commercial Sustainability Team.
