Jeff is Managing Director of Sea Shepherd Australia and a Director of Sea Shepherd Global. We caught up with him to talk impact and campaigning.

Since 2017, over 85% of KeepCup’s office and warehouse waste has been sent to be recycled or composted. Our sights are set on that last 15%, focusing on reduction and reuse, with recycling the last resort. 

At times when the convenience imperative loosens its grip on our lives, we can't waste the opportunity to reduce waste and single-use behaviour.  

As the COVID-19 crisis unfurled across the globe in March 2020, ‘Big Plastic’ used that uncertainty and fear to push for reuse bans and a repeal of single-use legislation.  

It’s not the material that’s the problem, it’s how we use it. This is a problem of plastic waste, not plastic as a material.
