Cups and food packaging made from polystyrene will also be banned by December 2022, federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley and Waste Reduction Assistant Minister Trevor Evans will announce at the launch in Brisbane.
There will also be a push for councils to unify their waste collection bins into a single, nationwide system.
“This is the first national strategy, one that attacks the issue from all sides and which sets clear targets over the next decade,” Ms Ley said.
A taskforce will also be established to tackle the plastics contained in cigarette butts, which are still a major source of litter.
Australians use more than 3.4 million tonnes of single-use plastic.
The federal government held a National Plastics Summit last year, which prompted the formulation of the national plan to reduce plastic use in industry.
The two biggest users of plastics were retail and commercial packaging and in the food industry.
