Plastics ban
The Ruapehu District Council may support a call from the Whakatane District Council for the government to ban plastic milk containers. The council's regulatory committee supported the move but suggested the full council consider it. The Whakatane District Council is also
suggesting alternatives to the ban including an "environmental tax" on plastic containers with the funds paid to local authorities to fund recycleing programmes, or putting pressure on the milk industry to implement a reprocessing programme for containers.
