No. All plastic cutlery (including compostable bioplastics such as PLA) have been banned in South Australia (SA), Queensland (QLD) and Australian Capital Territory (ACT).

Please note Vegware are not responsible or party to any current or future plastic bans in Australia. Any questions or concerns regarding the plastic bans, and their impact on available choices for your business, should be directed to your local council members or the NRA (National Retail Association).

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a compostable bioplastic made from plants - primarily corn - not fossil fuels.

Manufacturing bioplastics such as PLA produces significantly less carbon than conventional plastics such as PS or PET, and all Vegware PLA products are commercially compostable where accepted. 

Clear PLA varieties are suitable for cold use only, however CPLA (Crystallised PLA) is suitable for both hot and cold.
