Tip Top Bakeries has launched bread bags made of 30 per cent recycled plastic for products Tip Top The One, Tip Top The One Gluten Free, and Tip Top 9 Grain loaves.

The bakery partnered with Amcor for the production of the 30 per cent recycled plastic, which is certified by The International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) Plus Scheme and uses the ISCC mass balance approach.

“Tip Top is committed to feeding Australian communities in a more sustainable and responsible way, taking steps towards tackling the issue of plastic waste, while maintaining the freshness and quality of our delicious bread,” said Graeme Cutler, Tip Top Australia director of sales and ESG lead.

“At Amcor, we are dedicated to pioneering advanced packaging solutions that reduce reliance on virgin plastics while maintaining the quality and safety consumers expect,” said Richard Smith, Amcor Flexibles Asia Pacific director of sustainability.

In 2020, Tip Top Bakeries became the first bread manufacturer in Australia to introduce 100 per cent recycled and recyclable cardboard bread tags.
