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.”

CocoCoast is targeting $200m in annual revenue within five years after growing 53% in the past year, as it looks to exploit gaps in the US beverage market created amid tariff disruption.

The evolution of fermentation from familiar tradition to a powerful platform for future food innovation was the topic of conversation at a recent invitation-only Novonesis business breakfast for business leaders from the Australian and New Zealand food and beverage industry.
