In 2017, Boomerang Alliance started the Plastic Free Noosa project. Our goal was simple - assist businesses to reduce single-use plastics, and create a guide so other communities could replicate it. 

We soon realised that working with businesses, suppliers and the packaging industry to achieve this change was anything but simple!

SO WE CREATED 'PLASTIC FREE PLACES' - A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM THAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED BY US IN ANY COMMUNITY.

We've now implemented our program in over 20 communities across Australia, and many of our projects now focus solely on reuse!

"The community and our customers love the fact that we’ve got a milk tap and we’re really proud to be able to help them reduce their waste as well."
