History
Glad has been a part of Australian kitchens since 1966, according to the brand's official Australian website. The brand was introduced to provide innovative ways to protect, preserve and cook food, and over half a century later it remains a familiar name in Australian households. The website states: "Glad has been in Australian kitchens for over half a century. We've been creating innovative ways to protect, preserve and cook food since 1966." This heritage is presented as a source of pride and a foundation of expertise and quality. While the global Glad brand is owned by The Clorox Company, the Australian operations have their own website and product range tailored to the local market. The brand has expanded its offerings over the decades from basic food wrap and bags to a comprehensive portfolio that includes waste disposal products, bathroom and kitchen tidy bags, and specialty items for baking, freezing, and outdoor use. In recent years, Glad has introduced the Glad to be Green® range, which includes plant-based and compostable products such as kitchen tidy bags, cling wrap, bake paper, and reseal bags. This reflects a broader trend toward sustainability and environmental responsibility. The brand continues to evolve, as noted on its website: "Today, Glad is continuing to evolve, making better products and greener solutions for everyday needs, for everyday families."
