Our Focus

The Coalition for Sustainable Solutions (COFOSS) exists to reduce the environmental impacts of consumer electronic and home appliance products and its packaging in Australia. Our mission is to lead collaborative, industry-wide initiatives that accelerate product and packaging stewardship in Australia’s consumer electronics and home appliance sector - through policy advocacy, education, awareness, and strategic partnerships.

COFOSS operates under a collaborative governance model, bringing together retailers and suppliers across Australia to support industry-wide progress on sustainability. The organisation is governed by a representative Board, which ensures strategic oversight, accountability, and alignment with COFOSS’s Constitution and not-for-profit purpose.
