Every individual decision, every little step counts – and together they form collective action that has a strong and clearly measurable direct impact. And furthermore, Plastic Free July positively influences policy decisions with the focus on significantly reducing the use of plastic in our daily lives.” - Jennifer Morgan, State Secretary and Special Envoy for International Climate Action, Federal Republic of Germany “Plastic Free July is an initiative that truly elevates the power of the individual and spotlights the core truth that anyone can have an impact in building a better future for all. From Afghanistan to New Zealand and beyond, PFJ is a global effort that lives the very definition of the SDGs and strives to deliver results for Agenda2030 through everyone, everywhere.” - Sandra Uwera, Global CEO, Fairtrade International Plastic Free Foundation is a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC).

Great initiative by @compass@google to remove plastic clingfilm in their innovative "Sling the Cling" initiative. Since this time last year they've removed plastic cling film from their entire Campus in Ireland and saved 550,000 units of single-use plastic entering the waste stream. By storing products in sealed containers and implementing a new kitchen management system They have made a real difference. Thanks for being part of the solution chef Anthony Reilly MScACN and team. #PlasticFreeJuly #SmallStepsBigDifference

As part of our Impact Partnership with Endeavour Group we've been supporting their team to do waste audits and plastic stock takes in their retail stores. In this simple activity the staff were better able to understand their waste and identify some opportunities to make some small changes to their procedures that can add up to make a big impact. Thanks to Britt and Malissa for getting the gloves on and to Ashley Davies Jennifer Foo Dan Holland for your leadership and willingness to make change from the ground up. #PlasticFreeFoundation #PlasticFreeJuly #SmallStepsBigDifference
♻ Sure, we've all heard of accounting audits, but have you ever heard of a waste audit before?! As part of our second year partnership with Plastic Free Foundation through Rebecca Prince-Ruiz OAM we carried out a waste audit at our Dan Murphy's Bicton store. Team members Britt and Malissa did an exceptional job reviewing procurement, overstocks and as well as assessing the different waste bins in the store to better understand consumption. Through this process we will be able to develop new opportunities and solutions for our retail stores. The entire process was captured on film below! (Thanks to Tashi Hall for filming this!) It also marks the beginning of Plastic Free July where you can become part of the solution by choosing to refuse single-use plastics. ♻

Ahead of the most recent negotiations on the UN plastics treaty, @UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen spoke clearly to the plastic problem. “When plastics were first mass-marketed in the 1950s, the concept of throwing away useful items after a single use was so alien that we had to be taught it. Fast forward seventy years, and we have learned the lesson well. Too well. Our throwaway culture means that plastic floods our drains, blocks our rivers, chokes our oceans and enters our bodies. This throwaway world must itself be thrown away.” Let's make a difference and throw away our throwaway culture. #ChooseToRefuse

At Carrefour stores in the UAE are taking part in Plastic Free July by introducing plastic bag free days. Thanks for being part of the solution and making a difference. #PlasticFreeJuly #SmallStepsBigDifference
As companies and consumers around the world mark, a global initiative by the Plastic Free Foundation, and in support of the UAE's steps to combat the impact of climate change, Majid Al Futtaim is proud to step up its commitment to the elimination of single use plastic across its assets and locations. Starting July 3 and for the coming month, every Wednesday will be a plastic bag-free day across all Carrefour stores in the country. In addition to offering discounts on new reusable bags, customers bringing their own shopping bags will be eligible for extra SHARE points when purchasing in-store. The introduction of Carrefour's plastic free days forms an important part of Majid Al Futtaim's work to reach Net Positive in carbon and water by 2040. Other in-store sustainability initiatives include the introduction of Reverse Vending Machines. Delivered in partnership with BEEAH and Sparklo, the machines incentivise customers to return and recycle PET bottles. Since being installed in 2023, Carrefour customers have recycled over 20 tonnes of plastic and prevented the release of over 125 tonnes of CO2. #PlasticBagFreeDay #SingleUsePlasticBan #Sustainability #ReusableBags #MajidAlFuttaim
