Ready to take the Plastic Free July challenge?

1 July 2020

Single-use plastic takeaway items such as straws, stirrers, cutlery, coffee cups, containers and heavyweight bags are amongst the most littered and wasteful items in Australia and threaten both wildlife and habitat.

According to the latest Clean Up Australia National Rubbish Report, 36 per cent of all litter is plastic waste with plastic foodware amongst the most littered.

Getting rid of takeaway plastic packaging will only happen when governments ban these unnecessary products. It’s also about all of us taking personal action, showing it’s necessary and possible.

Take the Plastic Free July Challenge

Wildlife Queensland has called for a state ban on single-use plastic takeaway items and supports its partner the Boomerang Alliance in calling for all State and Territory Governments to ban single-use plastic takeaway items in 2021. Can you support us and take the Plastic Free July Challenge today? Many people taking action will increase the pressure on governments and businesses.

Here’s how:

  • Just head to the Plastic Free July website to join up and take action. You have many options from getting started to going plastic-free and plenty of things in between.
  • Wildlife Queensland is also helping to support Plastic Free July with 20% OFF our range of reusable products for the month of July (or while stocks last).
