Soft plastics can now be dropped off to dedicated recycling bins located at the front of metropolitan Woolworths stores in South Australia.

In partnership with Soft Plastics Stewardship Australia (SPSA), these soft plastics will be recycled into new products such as building materials and food grade packaging, helping to create a circular economy.

If you can't access one of these locations, soft plastics should only be placed in your red/blue landfill bin – never in your yellow recycling bin or green organics bin.

If a bag is certified compostable, that is, it has the AS-4736 Australian Standard 'seedling' logo (pictured below) printed on it, then it is safe to go in your green organics bin. These bags are designed to break down in a commercial composting facility.
