Recycling

Hangers
We recycle our hangers through Hangerman - a company we helped set up. They collect all unwanted plastic hangers from stores, sort and clean them (using a workforce that includes many disabled workers) and sell them back to clothing suppliers at a discount. We also make some of our new plastic hangers out of old damaged ones.

Recycled plastic
Many of Woolworths supermarket baskets and trolleys are now made from recycled plastic. You will have seen them – they are the black ones. Often they are made of old Woolies trolleys and baskets.

Recycled paper
Where possible, the sleeves on ready-made meals, dips and other food products are made from cardboard which has 80% recycled paper content. Our head office has converted as far as we can to recycled paper in all printers and photocopiers, all our internal communication publications and documents and our annual reports.
