How do I know if I can recycle my packaging?
Sanitarium and Aussie Helpers’ shared commitment to helping regional children and families access the nourishment and support they need.
We know most Australians want to do the right thing when it comes to recycling, but confusion is still holding many people back. With so many different logos and recycling labels on products, it hasn’t always been clear what goes where.
Where can I find helpful information?
Kerbside recycling and council facilities can vary across Australia, so the best place to start is your local council for the most accurate information in your area.
Other useful resources include:
- Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation
- Recycle mate
Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water
Recycling Sanitarium products
Much of our packaging displays the ARL, an evidence-based system for Australia that uses simple icons to show what can be recycled, and how.
This labelling system provides clear, easy-to-understand instructions on pack, helping you recycle our cereal packaging correctly and with confidence. It’s a small change that can make a meaningful difference to reducing waste and protecting the planet.
Next time you’re recycling look out for these recycling symbols – they are designed to make the right choice simple.
Tips on recycling your Sanitarium packaging:
- Kerbside recycling bins for cereal boxes or plastic Up&Go bottles
- Soft plastics into specific schemes such as Curby or store drop-offs supported by SPSA
- Container Deposit Schemes for tetra pack UP&GO (250mL)
