We\u2019re breaking the plastic habit!<\/h1>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At Brookfield Place Perth we believe single-use plastic is one of the biggest environmental and social issues facing us today. That\u2019s why we\u2019re breaking the plastic habit.<\/p>\n

Properties managed by Brookfield Properties within Australia are leading the way with this program that commits us to avoid single-use plastics where we can.<\/p>\n

What that means is we are committed to making better choices in our supply chain and to collaborating with our tenants and the community to create long-term, sustainable behavioural change for more people to avoid single-use plastics more often.<\/p>\n

There has never been a better time to do it.<\/p>\n

Australia consumes over 1 million tonnes of single-use plastics every year, and every year approximately 130,000 tonnes of plastic leaks into the marine environment from Australia alone,  breaking down into harmful microplastics. <\/p>\n

Once in the ocean, plastics endanger our marine wildlife and the functioning of our ocean ecosystems. Studies have also shown that it has entered the food chain and is ending up on our plates.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s why we\u2019re stepping up. The planet needs us.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
