Plastic-Pollution-Solution-Tool-Kit-Guide

9 As a business, one of our ongoing environmental objectives is to reduce single-use plastics in our day- to-day operations. We recently became an authorised signatory of the Australian Packaging Covenant (APCO), membership to the APCO is our 5-year commitment to review the packaging of the goods we sell, and to review and roll-out COS Exclusive branded products with endorsed recycling labels. Implementing innovations to support our own, and our customer’s sustainability policies is a positive step towards reducing the huge impact plastic has on the environment.
