Sustainable Food Packaging Suppliers
Register as a supplier of sustainable food packaging
At its meeting on 22 May 2018, Council resolved to reduce single-use plastics at Council events. As plastic does not biodegrade, instead it breaks into small micro-plastics which have a detrimental impact on the health of our waterways, oceans and marine life.

To assist with this transition at our events, Council is creating a list of approved disposable sustainable food packaging suppliers that event stallholders can use. Therefore, Council is inviting suppliers of disposable sustainable food packaging to register for this list. Please note that you will only be listed as a supplier if you meet the requirements listed below.
