That’s why Big W and Woolworths are going glitter-free this Christmas, making 100% of their Own Brand Christmas ranges free from glitter.
Woolworths Group General Manager of Sustainability Transformation and Delivery, Liam Ward, said: “We want to help create a better tomorrow, and this is a small but meaningful way we can help our customers deliver Christmas cheer without the impact glitter has on the environment.
“We know there’s more we can do, and we’re working to reduce glitter across our entire range in Woolworths and BIG W.
“We’re also making changes to reduce plastic in its many other forms, with both Woolworths and BIG W removing reusable plastic shopping bags from checkouts nationwide by the end of June next year.”
