Sustainable Packaging

The REDcycle soft plastics recycling option for Australia stopped in November 2022.

This means that soft plastic packaging that currently features the “Return to Store” REDcycle Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) logo cannot be returned to store. A Soft Plastics Taskforce has now been formed to explore solutions to reintroduce a return to store model in Australia. 

What can I do with my soft plastic packaging in the interim?

  • Check if soft plastics recycling is available in your local area here: Australasian Recycling Label (arl.org.au)
  • If kerbside recycling is not currently available, you will need to dispose of your soft plastic packaging in the landfill bin. Please periodically check back in at arl.org.au as pilot kerbside recycling programs are rolled out across Australia..

What is the SunRice Group doing about soft plastics?

SunRice has made a commitment to meet the Australian Packaging Covenant Organiastion (APCO) targets by the end of 2025 including 0% single use plastic, 100% reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging and 50% recycled packaging.
