Suppliers Resources
Saying Bye Bye to Plastic in your business isn’t easy and with various State based anti-single use plastic bans either in force or coming into force in 2022 , it is even more confusing!
Which is why we have put together a list of alternative packaging and product suppliers. However we are not providing specific details on this page of what is permissible to use and dispense to customers in your business in your particular location in Australia.
We have updated the website with details on the NSW Plastics Ban [link to new page] coming into force from 1 June 2022.
Please note, this guide is in no way exhaustive or endorsed. Businesses are advised to source their own suppliers and base their procurement decisions on a number of key factors, such as compliance with legislative requirements in your State or Territory, environmental performance, durability, recyclability and cost.
