ASX RELEASE
11[th] November 2022
Coles Group (ASX: COL) to launch SECOS MyEcoBag in 770 Retail Stores
SECOS Group Limited (SES: ASX) (Company) is pleased to provide the market with an update on the progress of its MyEcoBag™ commercialisation activities.
Highlights
-
Coles Group (ASX: COL) to launch SECOS’ MyEcoBag[TM] compostable bag products in 770 retail stores across Australia.
-
The selection by Coles follows a recent range review involving SECOS’ compostable products and is on the back of significant sales growth YoY for MyEcoBag™ in Woolworths stores.
-
For Coles, SECOS will launch a new shelf-ready presentation pack of the well-received 36L pack and a new 27L pack. Both packs are ideal for kitchen food & garden waste diversion to green bins FOGO programs, providing a fully compostable solution.
-
Coles has added the two MyEcoBag[TM] SKUs on a non-trail basis, which will be distributed nationally. The ongoing supply of the two MyEcoBag[TM] SKUs will be subject to meeting sales projections as part of the annual range review.
-
The significant growth in MyEcoBag™ sales in Woolworths and now Coles will take the MyEco[TM] branded products to over 2000 retail stores in Australia. This store footprint plus our Australian-wide distribution network, which supplies a select range of independents stores gives SECOS a significant retail reach.
-
SECOS will continue to look for opportunities to add additional compostable bin liner SKUs and new products such as its MyEcoPet dog waste bags into its existing relationships with Coles, Woolworths, and other stores. This strategy will ensure SECOS captures as much market share as possible with its portfolio of MyEco[TM] branded products.
-
The increased sales of the MyEco[TM] range in Australia will be supported by SECOS’ recent manufacturing capacity expansion in the Group’s new Malaysian biopolymer plant which commenced production in the March 2022 quarter with capacity to support annual sales of $25 million.

In Australia, the wider availability of SECOS’ compostable bags via Coles stores will give more households participating in approved council food organic waste programs the option to dispose of the bags and food waste in their green waste bin. The use of SECOS’ compostable bags offers households a clean and convenient way to assist with the separation of their food waste which is critical to ensure food does not end up in landfills.
SECOS continues to develop further opportunities for growth in new markets for its branded MyEcoBag™ and MyEcoPet™ line of products and is working to garner market share in grocery and convenience stores in Australia, the USA, Latin America, and elsewhere.
This announcement was authorized for release by the Board of SECOS Group Limited.
