Woolworths Group’s 700-Store Recycling Comeback Lands as Trust Fight Deepens
Sydney—It's May 11, 2026, clock just past 4:08 AEST. Woolworths Group Ltd has brought its soft-plastics recycling bins back to more than 700 supermarkets, spanning five states around Australia, marking a return to in-store sustainability efforts since REDcycle’s 2022 collapse. So far, the new program has taken in about 40 million pieces of soft plastic—roughly 310,000 kilograms—through the collection and processing scheme.
