what does it involve?
Public sector organisations
Help communicate the campaign to local residents, for instance by including information in newsletters, utilities bills and at public events.
hotels and tourism businesses
Use a toolkit which will help you reduce procurement of single use plastics. It will offer guidance on changing operational practices and communicating with guests
Use the campaign materials to educate tourists on why we are trying to go plastic-free (and thereby reduce demand for plastic items in your hotel, bar or restaurant).
We will support you to train staff on best practices – eg not using plastic bags for laundry, creating water refill stations, not using plastic straws and so on.
