How can you make an impact?

By making a few small changes to your soft plastics disposal routine you have the ability to make real, long lasting impact.

1. Scrunch

If you can scrunch it, it’s soft plastic! If you can’t and its plastic, it probably belongs in your kerbside recycling bin.

Alternatively check the labels on pack, all eligible GLAD® products including GLAD SnapLock® Reseal bags, GLAD® Wrap and Glad to be Green® 50% Plant Based Cling Wrap feature either the REDCycle logo or mention that the product can be recycled through a soft plastics recycling scheme.
