TACKLING THE SINGLE USE PLASTIC CRISIS

Sudd is dedicated to reducing single-use plastic in Australian homes. The reason? Many are unaware that single-use plastics, prevalent in our homes, can significantly harm our planet. It affects wildlife, pollutes landfills and oceans, contributes to climate change, and threatens our health. Annually, 280 million tonnes of single-use plastic turn into waste.

A staggering 46 percent of plastic waste ends up in landfills, and 22 percent is improperly disposed of, becoming litter. Plastic, unlike other substances, does not decompose. This results in marine wildlife suffocation, soil degradation, groundwater contamination, and severe health risks.

While governments around the world are striving to address the plastic pollution crisis effectively, a systemic shift is necessary. This involves transitioning from the prevailing linear plastic economy, which focuses on the production, usage, and disposal of plastic, to a circular plastic economy that retains plastic and reuses for the longest possible time.

Every Australian can contribute to protecting our planet by minimizing the use of single-use plastics. Support Australian businesses that are committed to curbing this issue.

By choosing Sudd, you could prevent approximately 76 bottles per year from becoming waste in our landfills and oceans per household. Imagine the impact if 50,000 households joined in the first year - we would prevent 3.8 million single-use plastic bottles from polluting our environment. The potential difference is immense!

We're not just addressing the issue of single-use plastic; we're also preventing toxic chemicals from contaminating our waterways. Our product is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and non-toxic. The common belief that we need 14 different cleaning products and that only strong, toxic cleaners are effective is a myth. It is simply not true.

We are soon transitioning all our packaging, including our stickers typically made of plastic, to plant-based cardboard. This change is a step away from contributing to deforestation and is gentler on the planet, being fully recyclable.

Opt for Sudd for a gentle, yet efficient cleaning experience, and discover that eco-friendly and non-toxic can indeed be synonymous with powerful. The planet will be grateful.
