Tupperware to close Australian operations after bankruptcy filing

Tupperware will close its operations in Australia after filing for bankruptcy in September. The company, now owned by a group of lenders, will focus on markets like the US and Canada, leaving over 10,000 sales consultants and 300 warehouse staff without jobs. The decision follows a decline in demand for Tupperware products, exacerbated by changing consumer habits and competition from other brands. Tupperware has struggled to attract younger customers and adapt to the rise of home delivery services. This closure marks the end of Tupperware's 63-year presence in Australia, following its exit from New Zealand last year. The brand's traditional sales model has faced challenges as fewer people engage in home cooking and Tupperware parties.
