As the first mayo brand in Australia to take on this initiative, it is estimated that we will save 380 tonnes of virgin plastic each year! By reducing the amount of virgin plastic material in circulation, it is a positive step towards the creation of a circular economy in Australia.
We're excited to be living this purpose by taking this step along our sustainability journey.

As one of Australia’s most loved household brands, we understand that we have a responsibility to make changes that are better for our environment.
We also know that our expertise is making food taste delicious and that’s why we have chosen to partner with Take 3 for the Sea because they are the experts in the sustainability space!
Our partnership will provide us with access to significant knowledge, thought leadership, ambassadors, as well as opportunities to continue to take action where it matters most – creating a more sustainable Australia.
Stay tuned for some awesome initiatives that you can get involved in too.
Keep an eye out for the new 100% recycled bottles starting to hit shelves in a store near you!
You may notice that our new bottles have a slightly darker tint. This is just because the plastic is recycled and they remain totally food safe and still contain the same delicious Aussie made Praise you know and love!
1) PURCHASE PRAISE & ENJOY
Every time you choose Praise you are helping to reduce more virgin plastic from being created.
2) CLEAN YOUR BOTTLE
Clean bottles are more likely to be successfully recycled than dirty ones so remember to rinse the bottle before recycling.
3) RECYCLE YOUR BOTTLE & LID
Our bottles and lids are recyclable! Just screw the cap back on before throwing in the recycling bin.
Why has Praise moved to use 100% recycled plastic for their bottles and jars
As part of our Praise purpose of making every day better we are committed to making every day more sustainable too.
Our newly launched Praise bottles will be made from 100% recycled PET because we want to close the loop. This will help create a circular economy in Australia, where products and materials are recycled and remain in use, with little to no waste generated.
What type of plastic goes into making Praise 100% Recycled Bottle and Jars?
Our new bottles and jars are made of rPET. The ‘r’ stands for recycled and the ‘PET’ is the type of plastic. rPET is made from recyclables collected from your kerbside bins and Australia’s container return schemes. These recyclables are sorted at MRFs, (Material Recovery Facilities) with rigid PET (or rPET) packaging like our bottles and jars sent to a recycler to be reprocessed into food grade rPET resin.
As part of our goal to build a local circular economy for plastic our rPET is 100% Australian sourced post-consumer material.
Are all components of Praise bottles and jars made from recycled materials?
Currently, only the bottle and jars are made from 100% recycled materials. Our lids, labels and freshness seals are currently not made from 100% recycled materials due to a lack of viable solutions and packaging technologies available at this stage.
We are committed to continual improvement across our packaging, which includes a goal to utilise 100% sustainable materials by 2030. Utilising Australian made and processed, post-consumer recycled plastic in our bottles and jars is a great step on our ongoing sustainability journey.
Are these new bottles and jars recyclable?
Yes they are. As part of our commitment to building a circular economy and closing the loop, we are proud that our bottles and jars are not only made using recycled materials, but they are also recyclable.
How can I recycle my Praise bottles and jars?
We know recycling can be confusing which is why we have started using the Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) on our packaging. According to the ARL, all Praise PET and rPET bottles and jars are recyclable through kerbside recycling systems.
Further, our lids are also recyclable. Instructions on the label will tell you whether to leave the cap/lid on or place it the recycling bin separately.
What is Praise doing beyond recycled bottles?
Sustainability has always been part of helping us be better and we’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, which includes moving to using 100% Renewable Electricity across our owned manufacturing facilities in 2021.
