The South Australian Parliament has passed a Bill by the Greens encouraging food businesses to allow consumers to bring in their own takeaway containers to reduce waste.

The Bill passed through parliament yesterday afternoon amends the Civil Liabilities Act to protect businesses that allow customers to bring in their own takeaway containers from liability if the consumer fails to properly sterilise the container.

Greens MLC Robert Simms says 

“This is a great example of the Parliament working collaboratively to deliver positive outcomes for our environment"
