Woolworths has renewed its partnership with TerraCycle to recycle the current line of Disney+ Ooshies.

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.”

Food & Drink Business

The winners of the 2025 Australian Organic Industry Awards, hosted by Australian Organic Limited (AOL), have been recognised in Melbourne – ranging from pioneering family farms to trailblazing consumer brands.

Ricegrowers Limited (SunRice) recorded $1.85 billion in revenue for FY25, with a net profit after tax of $70.7 million. Despite revenue being down on FY24, a shift to higher value branded products and manufacturing efficiencies saw profitability improve.

In a major boost to recycling efforts across New South Wales and South Australia, each state’s container deposit scheme (CDS) is set to expand to accept wine and spirit bottles and larger drink containers, starting in 2027.
