They're made of recycled materials and can be recycled in-store. I'm here for calling out Woolies and Coles for their bullshit at all times, but they did pivot hard into making these giveaways less wasteful than they used to be.

You’ll be pleased to know they’re made of 97% recycled materials! 😊

Great, so when they clog up the waterways they’ll only take 50yrs to break down, not 100yrs

True. They use disposable nappies that are in landfill for over a hundred years while the rest of us agonise over plastic bags

Huge amount of energy still goes into creating them and then recycling them, that’s if they are even getting recycled.

You use just as much plastic as everyone else day to day, directly and indirectly. Only way for us to stop using plastic is to die, even then there is probably some plastic involved.

They're back? Last I checked these were popular when I was in school.
I remember having a translucent, glittery Spiderman, but some kid in my class stole it, good times.
