Join the Byron loves BYO campaign and ditch disposables

Join the Byron loves BYO campaign and ditch disposables Published on 31 May 2021 Council’s Byron loves BYO campaign kicks off this Thursday [3 June] at the Byron Farmers Markets with giveaways of reusable items including Huskee Cup and Plastic Free Byron water bottles.The campaign aims to address the growing problem of single-use takeaway items including more than 2.7 million single-use or disposable coffee cups going to landfill in Australia each day.“We have an awesome business community with over 60 Byron Shire cafes and restaurants signed up to the Make the Switch Program to reduce single-use plastic, but we need to do more,” Council’s Resource Recovery Education and Projects Officer Sarah Child said.“It’s not just plastic takeaway that is a problem, another major issue is that ‘compostable’ and biodegradable products are not necessarily compostable. There is no regulation around the labelling and many items are not certified to Australian standards,” Ms Child said.
