Mars, Snickers and Milky Way bars sold on Australian shelves will be wrapped in new paper packaging next year as the food industry grapples with the collapse of the soft plastics recycler REDcycle.
Mars Wrigley Australia general manager Andrew Leakey said the company’s announcement was unrelated to the, which was until recently the only way most Australians could recycle soft plastic. “The comparison would be if you suddenly decided to change to a thicker paper in your printer at home – all of a sudden your printers are going to jam,” Leakey said. “So we have to then rejig the machines.”

The trials are under way in central Victoria’s Macedon Ranges Shire as well as Albury/Wodonga, with plans to set up trials in other states.
