06 Feb 2023 --- Coles and Woolworths are being served by the New South Wales (NSW), Australia, Environment Protection Authority (EPA) with a draft Clean-up Notice. EPA gave the notice due to accusations of stockpiling soft plastics after the supermarkets took over the “failed” recycling program from REDcycle. Woolworths and Coles are facing the same stockpiling issues with hoarding excess soft plastics. The NSW EPA asks the supermarkets to remove more than 5,200 metric tons of soft plastic accumulated at 15 sites across warehouses across New South Wales.
