Make the switch to green

Bans and restrictions on single-use plastics came into force on Sunday, October 1, marking a significant step towards a more sustainable future.

The ban is a critical response to the mounting environmental challenges posed by disposable plastic items. From plastic bags and straws to cutlery and packaging, plastic products litter our landscapes, pollute our oceans, and seriously threaten our wildlife and ecosystems

These new regulations aim to address these challenges by prohibiting the distribution and sale of a wide range of disposable plastic items, encouraging a shift towards environmentally-friendly options in order to reduce single-use plastic usage.

At Arrow, we’re committed helping our clients reduce their environmental impact. As the single-use plastic ban comes into effect, we’ve collaborated with our supplier base to source a range of eco-friendly products that align with the Government’s new single-use plastic regulations.

These products not only meet the requirement of the ban but also support more sustainable product selection – supporting our customers in making environmentally-conscious choices that reduce plastic waste and support a responsible approach to facilities management.
