EPIC new way for councils to act on the ‘plastic pandemic’

A new program to help local councils identify and eliminate single-use
plastics from their workplaces has been published.

The Engagement for Plastic-free innovation and Change (EPIC)
program was designed by Plastic Oceans Australasia (POA), and includes:

• a step-by-step EPIC program manual;  
• access to scientific research and documentaries
  on plastic pollution, including the award-winning film A Plastic Ocean;
• four custom workshops run by a POA facilitator;
• surveys to measure and track changes in
  workplace plastic habits;
• plastic waste audit guides and personalised
  analysis to produce custom data for councils;
• a database of supply alternatives, including
  environmental and cost-friendly alternatives;
• comprehensive procurement support, including
  unique tips for learning about and changing your procurement;
• case studies and examples of plastic elimination
  success; and
• ongoing advice and support from the POA team
  throughout the 12-month program.

Council wanting to take the journey towards plastic elimination with POA can register their interest at business@plasticoceans.org.au
