In Australia, certain soft plastics, including LDPE (PP4), can be recycled through national programs like REDcycle. REDcycle drop-off points are conveniently available at major supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths. This program helps keep soft plastics, including wrap-around tags, out of landfills and repurposes them into new products.
