Tip Top has announced it will be rolling out recycled cardboard tags in an effort to reduce its use of plastic.
The popular Australian bread company introduced the 100 per cent recycled cardboard tag on Thursday.
The exciting new change will eventually see the phase out of more than 400million plastic tags per year.

'Our goal is that by 2025, all Tip Top packaging will be 100% recyclable, reusable or compostable to help close the loop,' sales director Graeme Cutler said.
'Developed and produced through rigorous testing, the new sustainable bread tags promise no compromise on freshness and taste.
'Customers can expect to be provided with the same Tip Top quality that millions of Australians enjoy freshly baked every day and have trusted since 1958.'
The recycled bread tags were rolled out in South Australia on Thursday. This will see 11million plastic tags removed in the state alone by the end of next year.
'South Australia probably leads the way in Australia in terms of kerbside recycling. These can be recycled through the kerbside process,' Mr Cutler said.
He suggested the tags be placed in something else because 'they're quite small' and might not make their through the process.
Over the next two years, the new Tip Top bread tags will be handed out at no extra cost to retailers.
