Narta Sustainability Actions

Initiated CoFoSS

The Coalition for Sustainable Solutions (CoFoSS) was initiated by the National Associated Retail Traders Association (NARTA) in 2023. CoFoSS includes leading consumer electronics and home appliances retailers and brands and aims to reduce the environmental impact of consumer electronics and home appliances products and packaging.

Held policy discussions

CoFoSS has begun discussions with various government and industry stakeholders, with a focus on informing and influencing policy decisions. The coalition has also had early discussions with the government and with industry bodies including the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), the Australian Retailers Association (ARA), and the Consumer Electronics Suppliers Association (CESA).

Addressed packaging and e-waste

Immediate priorities for CoFoSS include addressing the impact of expanded polystyrene (EPS) used in product packaging and managing e-waste from small appliances. The coalition aims to develop industry-wide standards for responsible recycling of materials across the value chain.
