Plastic Free July

Plastic Free July is a global movement that has inspired millions of people and businesses in more than 190 countries to reduce their single-use plastic for a month - and well beyond.

The movement builds on the idea that if everyone makes small changes, collectively we will make a massive difference to our communities.

Find out more about how you can reduce your plastic use around UQ and further afield.
