Community groups on the Northern Beaches have been active in sustainability and waste reduction for many years.
They have great strengths and are well placed to inspire and drive changes.
The Collaboration Collective was formed to combine strengths and co-create an impactful and unified approach to reducing single-use plastics. Our mission is to work collaboratively to actively engage with Northern Beaches businesses, schools and communities to swap out single-use plastic. Through regular meetings, facilitated by the Swap for Good team, opportunities to work together are emerging. The members are valuable volunteers and ambassadors within the far-reaching Northern Beaches area.
