[Pledge] I’ll use reusable containers not foil, plastic or paper wrap [Why] Australia produces more than 1.3 million tonnes of plastic every year – more than 71 kg for every person. Cling wrap is a plastic that poses a serious environmental threat as it’s widely used but not recyclable in Australia due to machinery incompatibility. The plastic is made from polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) which take hundreds of years to degrade. PVC also contains toxic chemical additives that leach out of the plastic into food. Although aluminium foil can be recycled it is commonly overlooked and thrown in the bin – if you use it, make sure you recycle it, or save yourself the cost and reuse a container instead!

Whether in your home or when getting take-away, store your food in containers that can be washed and reused over and over, not just thrown into a landfill after one use.
