Customers can drop off their unwanted ooshies in special bins at Woolworths stores. TerraCycle then turns the toys into plastic pellets, which are used to help make outdoor products such as garden beds, decks, fences, and benches.

And, the bags that Ooshies come in can also be recycled via in-store bins or placed in kerbisde paper recycling bins.

TerraCycle Australia and New Zealand general manager Jean Bailliard, said: “We are pleased to team up with Woolworths again to ensure any unwanted or pre-loved Ooshies are diverted from the environment. Last year, our partnership saw thousands of Lion King Ooshies recycled through the program, which have now been used to create recycled benches.”

End Food Waste Australia (EFWA) and Hort Innovation have launched a new research program to tackle the challenges of harvest surplus and losses on-farm – a $2.5 billion opportunity for vegetable growers.

The federal government has confirmed it will not proceed with the Tax Laws Amendment (Incentivising Food Donations to Charitable Organisations) Bill 2024, saying the legislation contains “deficiencies that compromise its policy intent”, even as food insecurity remains at record levels across Australia.

A lot of food and beverage brands look strong when they’re small. They have one product, one pack, one clear idea and then they grow. That’s usually when things start to unravel, not all at once, but quickly enough to matter. The Creative Method founder and creative director, Tony Ibbotson, explains why – and growth is not the problem.
