Woolworths Shoppers Get Soft Plastic Recycling Back at 700 Stores After REDcycle Fallout
Woolworths Group has reinstated soft-plastic recycling bins at over 700 supermarkets in five Australian states after a years-long pause, following REDcycle’s 2022 collapse. Since February 2024, customers have returned about 40 million pieces of soft plastic, or 310,000 kilograms. Collected material is processed by partners including saveBOARD and iQRenew for use in store products. Coles and Aldi are also expanding similar programs.
