Hercules Sustain Sandwich Bags

Brand Overview

Hercules is a long-standing household brand primarily known for its food storage and protection products. The 'Sustain' range, featured in the image, highlights the brand's shift toward more environmentally conscious materials, specifically utilizing a bio-based plastic derived from renewable sugarcane to reduce the reliance on petroleum-based polymers.

Origins and Manufacturing

The Hercules brand originated in Australia, serving as a staple in household kitchens for decades. While the brand has Australian roots, the manufacturing of its plastic bag products, including the Sustain line, frequently takes place in Thailand, where significant production facilities for bio-based and conventional plastics are established.

Ownership and Distribution

Hercules is currently owned by Clorox Australia, a subsidiary of the American multinational The Clorox Company. In early 2024, Clorox announced the sale of some of its regional homecare brands to the private equity-backed GUD Holdings and other entities, but as of current market operations leading into 2026, the brand remains integrated within the Clorox professional and consumer portfolio. The Clorox Company is headquartered in Oakland, California, and manages a global footprint of cleaning and household essentials.
