Its not only about swapping out products, but educating yourself about environmentally-sustainable living as well as changing your lifestyle and making more thoughtful and informed life choices!
What are single-use items? Single-use items are products and packaging that we dispose of after one use. These items tend to be used for only minutes, yet their impact upon our environment can last up to millions of years. Even when these items are recyclable - and many of them are not - energy and resources have been used to produce them in the first place. And with so many more sustainable options available, using something once and throwing it out is truly a waste. That’s why it’s so important to think about whether we really need to use these items. Here, a small shift in our behaviour can make a big difference, and the alternatives are often innovative and better than the disposable versions.
What can we do? Better than reusing or recycling the products that you have already bought and/or used is avoiding the product in the first place. Ask yourself if it can be re-purposed somewhere else, to give it a second life. If a single use item must be used, reduce the amount you use and recycle appropriately.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle These 3 options make a significant positive impact to the health of the planet.

What are some common single-use items that have the largest negative impact on our environment?
- Balloons: Balloons often end up in our waterways and have become one of the most harmful pollutants threatening marine wildlife.
- Coffee Cups: Australians consume more than 50,000 cups of coffee every half hour and, for now at least, the disposable cups can't be recycled.
- Plastic Bags: Australians use around 10 million plastic bags every day, but even though soft plastics can now be recycled, only 3% of those bags are currently being recycled.
- Straws: Plastic straws are one of the most common items found on beaches all over the world. If you really need a straw, there are great sustainable alternatives available.
- Also anything else single-use such as disposable crockery and dinnerware, nappies, wet wipes and even toilet paper
