The Zero Waste Tableware Library is here!
The Zero Waste Tableware Library makes it convenient and free for you to choose a reusable option when you’re hosting your next gathering in our Shire. This means zero disposable picnic or tableware ends up in our Shire’s landfill from your event.
Whenever you choose to borrow from the Zero Waste Tableware Library, you’re not only helping our community to transition to the circular economy, you’re also helping everyone learn together about how we can each reduce our impact on the environment as well as how to reduce our carbon emissions. This means reducing our local contribution to global climate change and the impacts its having around the world and on our region.

- Globally billions of items of plastic tableware, including single-use cutlery and plates, ends up either as landfill or as litter, harming our environment, especially our beaches, rivers and oceans.
- By 2040, plastic in our oceans is predicted to reach around 30 million tonnes per year – that’s 50kg of plastic for every meter of coastline worldwide.
That’s a whole lot of single-use plastics and tableware we can each take action against!
