As customers shun unrecyclable plastic, the supermarket is now making it easier to recycle meat packaging that would otherwise go into landfill.
It’s the first step in a plan to make all of its own brand red meat trays recyclable over the coming months, with the supermarket planning to introduce more sustainable packaging across its products.
The paper tray can be thrown into the kerbside recycling bin, while the vacuum fresh seal film can be discarded or recycled through the Woolworths REDcycle bins. “Packaging plays a vital role in maintaining product freshness and quality, but it’s important we do it in a sustainable way and encourage more recycling.”

EXCLUSIVE: Budget papers reveal JobKeeper will be axed in March | Sky News AustraliaThe Federal Government will completely axe the JobKeeper program in March and speculation is mounting it will be replaced by a wage subsidy scheme for small and medium businesses.\n\nSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said the decision to cut off JobKeeper payments – detailed in papers for the upcoming budget - would reveal the “true state of unemployment” in Australia.\n\n“It remains to be seen whether there is a change of heart on this in December or January and whether there is an announcement then by the Prime Minister that it may be extended but sources have told me this is ‘highly unlikely’ and I am told the budget papers are clear – the scheme ends then,” Mr Clennell said.\n\nThe first round of JobKeeper is estimated to cost $85 billion while taxpayers are expected to spend $16 billion on the second round, which has tougher eligibility requirements.\n\n“The exit was never going to be easy and the PM and Treasurer knew this,” Mr Clennell said.\n\n“The view is it cannot go on forever.
