The Plastic Free Sutherland Shire Project aims to eliminate, the use of the five common plastic sources that contribute to the majority of plastic litter and ocean debris.

​

They are:

1. plastic straws

2. plastic shopping bags

3. plastic cutlery

4. plastic cups

5. plastic take-away containers.

 

Project organisers and sponsors will provide as much support as possible to make the transition to plastic-free practices as easy and cost-effective as possible.

​

This will include:

· promoting the project through a variety of media

· educating customers to secure their support

· organising a local expo at which you can see a range of plastic-free packaging that might suit your business

· organising bulk purchases of non-plastic packaging to obtain greater discounts

· providing posters for display in your business.

​

The following pages will give you some tips on how you can go about making your business part of the plastic-free project.
