On November 1st 2022, the NSW Government implemented the second phase of its Plastics Ban to include single-use straws, cups, cutlery, plates, bowls, and packaging (non-spillable).

Since 2017, UNE Life has worked to ensure our food & beverage services lead the way in sustainable practices by providing eco-friendly biodegradable alternatives to single-use takeaway and catering packages.

In adherence to the NSW Plastics Ban, UNE Life asks all customers to please use a keep cup when ordering coffee from our venues. Takeaway coffee cups will be available to visitors, non-frequent users, and by request. We encourage those who regularly order takeaway beverages to bring their own cup or purchase a reusable one at the register.

1 billion coffee cups are disposed of in Australia each year, and so we hope that together, our contribution to the NSW Plastics Ban demonstrates that change is possible!

You can purchase a keep cup at the Booloominbah Cafe, or visit The Shop to browse their range.
