Plastics-free Survey

On 24^th July 2020 Council made this decision:

That council prepare a report outlining;

• Current use of single-use plastic across all operations;
• Available alternatives to single-use plastic items currently in use in council operations/sponsored event
• Achievable time frames to phase out single-use plastics in council operations 
• Achievable time frames for developing a single-use plastic policy that addresses the reduction of single use plastics in council operations and events, supports the 2025 national packaging targets, and identifies suitable alternatives, including time frames for implementation  

To prepare this report, we're now surveying all council line managers to gather data about our use of single-use plastics and plastic packaging across council operations.

For the purposes of this survey these are the definitions we're using:

Single-use plastics (SUPs): Items intended to be used only once before they are thrown away or recycled

Plastic packaging: All plastic packaging used for the containment, protection, marketing or handling of consumer products.

The survey should only take 5-10 minutes. Please provide as much detail as you can.

Thank you for your time.
