Abstract
The manufacture, storage and disposal of plastics can have significant negative impacts on communities living near plastics facilities, which we have termed ‘plastics communities’. This article discusses how the general environmental duty, under Victoria’s reformed Environment Protection Act 2017, can be utilised by plastics communities. This duty has the potential to reduce the harm caused by plastics industries and contribute towards broader environmental justice.
