Aussie parents love this simple eco-friendly swap
If there’s one thing Aussie parents are great at, it’s finding simple swaps that make a big difference for their families and the planet. And right now, one small but mighty change is happening in homes all across the country.
With sustainability becoming a bigger focus for more families, Aussies are rethinking what goes into their daily dishwashing routines, starting with the plastic packaging on their favourite cleaning products.
That’s where Finish’s latest innovation comes in. The brand has launched its first-ever paper-based, kerbside recyclable packaging for its dishwashing tablets* (and it’s kind of a big deal). This clever switch is set to remove up to 48 tonnes of plastic each year from its tablet packaging. And to put that into perspective, that’s the equivalent of more than 1.8 million plastic water bottles being kept out of landfill.
It’s these kinds of everyday choices that are adding up for Aussie families; small, manageable swaps that help reduce waste without making life harder.
And with the new paper-based packs rolling out in supermarkets across Australia from March 2026, it’s never been easier to make a more sustainable pick during your regular shop. Looking after the planet for the next generation doesn’t always require big changes; sometimes, it just starts with what’s under your kitchen sink.
Why go green?
Other than the environmental benefits, another key perk is quality.
The packaging on Finish’s new range is durable, practical, and designed to go straight into your kerbside recycling (just remember to remove the plastic zipper and pop that in general waste).
And this eco-friendly update doesn’t require you to compromise on performance, either. The Finish Ultimate Plus range now features an upgraded formula that delivers its best clean on tough stains**; no pre-rinse needed. That means less time scrubbing, less water wasted, and more time back with the kids (or finally enjoying that hot cuppa).
* Available on select packs across the Quantum, Ultimate and Ultimate Plus ranges (46 – 80 tabs).
