This help page provides guidance on completing section 3.9 ‘Single use items’ of your organisation's Statement on compliance with the 2024 Climate Action Mandate.
§3.9 Single use items
3.9.1 Cease using disposable cups, plates and cutlery in any public sector canteen or closed facility, excluding clinical (i.e., non-canteen healthcare) environments, and in publicly funded advertising or broadcasting, where feasible.
3.9.2 Progressively eliminate all single use items within the organisation and from events organised, funded, or sponsored.
Disposable (or single use) cups, plates and cutlery are those which are used only once or for a short period of time before they are discarded. The ban applies to the above disposable tableware products regardless of the material they are made from and includes those described/marked as recyclable, compostable or biodegradable.
Canteens/facilities can be operated by an organisation, by a third-party contractor or self-service and, in all instances, the mandate applies.
