COS helps customers with plastic waste

Leading Australian independent dealer COS has developed a Plastic Pollution Toolkit to support customers in reducing and even eliminating the use of plastics in their businesses. According to the reseller, over 3.4 million tonnes of plastic are discarded into landfill each year in Australia – and approximately 30% of the waste comes from single-use items.

However, regional authorities are beginning to take action. New South Wales banned several single-use plastic items in early October 2022, following in the footsteps of Western Australia and South Australia. The Victorian government, meanwhile, banned a variety of single-use plastic and polystyrene items in February.

To help its clients get to grips with tackling the issue, COS has created a 13-page toolkit document that comes with the tagline ‘Refuse, Reduce & Recycle’. Contents include advice on changing office culture, green audits, sourcing responsibly and recycling.
