Ditch Disposables: Replace plastic utensils, cutlery and crockery with ceramic, glass, bamboo, metal and wood alternatives

How: Invest in glass containers and metal bowls for food storage. Check op shops and Buy Nothing groups for budget-friendly options. Or encourage staff to bring in disused mugs, glasses and utensils for the staff kitchen!

Provide tea pots and cosies (great finds at op shops) or individual tea strainers, Buy tea as loose leaf (and avoid the plastic in tea-bags)
