Eliminating single use items: Take the pledge

Eliminating single use items: Take the pledge
As businesses working in the City of Sydney’s area, we’re committed to reducing our reliance on single use plastic items.

This is in support of the City’s goal of zero waste by 2030.

To demonstrate our commitment, we each pledge to a minimum of 4 actions. This includes actions we have already introduced and those we intend to carry out in our businesses.

The pledge is voluntary. Together we want to celebrate and promote the good work that’s happening across the city individually and collectively. Importantly, we also want to create solutions together.

Join us as we work together towards our zero waste future.
