Tupperware closes the lid on Australia, set to shut down operations
Prolific storage container brand, Tupperware, is ending its operations within Australia.
As reported by the Daily Mail on Monday, the company, which has been working locally since the early 1960s, will cease operating in Australia, with an expectation that a fair number of warehouse and sales employees will be made redundant before Christmas.
The news comes days after it was revealed that global rights to the brand’s related intellectual property, operations and name were purchased by Party Products – an organisation founded by the lenders. It also comes over one month after the famous brand officially filed for bankruptcy in September.
That is good news. Less companies selling plastic.
More plastic companies should do the same.
There is already too much plastic on earth that is poisoning the planet at a fast rate.
Time to do something even if it is to late to save all plants and animals.
I have the same question about the lids
I have Tupperware lids that need replacing as they have split. Is it possible to get the lids before the company ceases in Australia. If not can l have them replaced from another country?.
I think it’s a great tragedy that we will loosing Tupperware ,I have got a lot of containers and lots that need replacing. I’ve been a very loyal customer since 19 70 and I feel extremely anoid that Australia isn’t going to have it any .ore.Please can’t you convince the new owners that Australia is worthy of the products and why should we be left out of the distribution. Please I would love to here from you about the wonderful Tupperware
Kind regards.Lorraine Carson
Replacements spares are available but many product shapes have changed and colours change so colour matching is also unlikely. See the website. Must say supply is rapidly falling
