food
retailers & cafes
Café and restaurant owners, you have a great opportunity to make a really significant contribution to a
Plastic Free Sutherland Shire.
Did you know there are alternatives to the plastic packaging you provide for your customers and by choosing to use them you’ll not just be contributing to a cleaner, healthier environment, but you’ll be raising the bar in sustainable business practices and showing your customers that you care.
To join Plastic Free Sutherland Shire, cafes and restaurants just need to implement five simple practices.
A few extra things you can implement to take your business to the next level:
-
Only selling drinks in glass or aluminium instead of plastic
-
Removing plastic decorations from your business and replacing them with ones from natural materials and replacing plastic plants with the genuine article.
-
Using tablecloths made of natural materials such as cotton, linen or hemp, instead of plastic and synthetic materials.
-
Composting food scraps and coffee grounds
Why don’t you share your story about how your business became plastic-free?
We’d love to hear from you.
