Council contracts don’t sound exciting until you realise they can change how millions of Australians deal with food waste every week. On this podcast, Marie de Perthuis, CEO of MyEco Group Limited, unpacks a refined growth strategy built to scale: council supply, national retail distribution, and product range expansion. If you follow ASX-listed sustainability businesses, this is a grounded look at how a “better for the planet” product becomes a repeat-purchase staple with real distribution behind it.

We talk through why each additional council win matters for compostable kitchen caddy liners and compostable waste products, and how that reach into households strengthens MyEco’s position in the organics market. Marie also explains the commercial logic: consistent council demand can build a platform that supports broader category growth, especially as councils and communities push for cleaner FOGO outcomes.

Then we shift to shelves and store counts. With new ranging agreements across Foodland, Ritchies IGA, and Cornett’s IGA, we dig into what independent grocery distribution can do for brand visibility and long-term scale. Marie shares how retail expansion creates room to introduce additional sustainable household products over time, backed by FY26 Australian retail sales growth.

Finally, we explore product range expansion into the Eco-Home category, including FSC Chain of Custody certification and a 100% bamboo tissue and paper towel range, plus the planned digital launch in Q3 FY27. We also cover capital management, including the share purchase plan and how funding supports inventory, retail rollouts, and further council and online growth. If you want a clear view of where the next 12 months of milestones could come from, hit play, subscribe, share this with a mate, and leave us a review with your take on which growth engine matters most.

Andrew Musgrave

Welcome again to ASX Briefs, and today I'm joined again by Marie de Perthuis, the CEO of MyEco Group Limited. And the company has recently outlined a refined growth strategy built on three core growth engines: council supply, national retail distribution, and product range expansion. Marie, thanks for joining me again and welcome back to the ASX Briefs Podcast.

Marie de Perthuis

Thanks for having me, Andrew.

Andrew Musgrave

Marie, for listeners that may be unfamiliar with MyEco Group, can you give us a brief overview of the company?

Marie de Perthuis

Sure. MyEco is an Australian sustainable household products company. We are the leading provider of compostable bin liners in both Woolworths and Coles. We supply compostable plastic resin globally and we are expanding into new FSC certified paper products.

Andrew Musgrave

Now you recently announced a new strategy centered around Australian retail expansion both in channel and products. Can you touch on what the goal of this strategy is?

Marie de Perthuis

Yes, the goal is to accelerate growth to drive revenue, margin, and earnings. We'll do this by increasing the supply of compostable waste products to more councils, by expanding a retail distribution, and by introducing new sustainable products.

Andrew Musgrave

Turning now to your operations, MyEco engages with more than 40 councils nationally, and you've recently secured a new council supply contract with Mildura Rural City Council. How does this contract fit into your first growth engine, Council Supply? And what is the broader commercial potential for compostable kitchen caddy liners across local government networks?

Marie de Perthuis

Every additional council contract increases revenue, expands our rich into households, and cements our position as a leader in the organics market, which gives us a growing platform from which to expand.

Andrew Musgrave

And expanding retail footprint is a key driver under Engine 2, national retail distribution. You've recently announced new distribution wins across Foodland, Ritchie's IGA, and Cornett's IGA. How significant are these ranging agreements for MyEco's market presence in independent grocery?

Marie de Perthuis

They're very important because retail extension is how we scale. The recent distribution gains they demonstrate that retailers see value in both our products and the category. Every new store increases visibility, broadens our customer base, and creates opportunity to introduce additional products over time. Australian retail sales grew by 22.7% in FY26, building a larger, more scalable, and increasingly diversified revenue platform.

Andrew Musgrave

Finally, moving to engine three, product range expansion. You've secured FSC Chain of Custody certification and announced a new 100% bamboo tissue and paper tower range. Why is entering the Eco-Home category a strategic milestone for MyEco and what is the rollout timeline?

Marie de Perthuis

This new range expends MyEco into a substantially larger addressable market. The FSC certification provides assurance around responsible sourcing, which is increasingly important for retailers and consumers. Concerning the rollout timeline, we'll launch through our digital channel in Q3 of FY27 while we develop a broader retail distribution. We have a strong product pipeline that we'll distribute through our growing distribution network.

Andrew Musgrave

Looking now at capital management, to fund these growth initiatives, MyEco announced a share purchase plan aimed to raise up to $1.5 million at a maximum issue price of $0.018 cents per share. How will these funds be allocated to support execution across your three growth engines?

Marie de Perthuis

The SPP is about accelerating the execution to drive growth. This includes supporting retail rollouts, funding inventory for new product launches, and pursuing additional growth opportunities across both council and retail channels, both in store and online. Shareholders will be investing in a strategy that is already delivering results. Over FY26, we reduced our operating costs while materially increasing revenue generated through our retail and council channels, which is higher margin and more scalable. So, the SPP gives shareholders the opportunity to participate in a business that is not only growing, but also improving the quality of its revenue and cost base as it scales.

Andrew Musgrave

And finally, Marie, looking ahead over the next 12 months, what are the key milestones that investors and fund managers should watch out for as MyEco builds towards sustainable revenue scale?

Marie de Perthuis

Investors should watch for continued execution. We want to see further council wins, additional retail distribution expansion, and further product launches in new household essential category. Each of those milestones independently creates value, but together they show the strength of the broader strategy. The key point is that MyEco now has multiple growth engines contributing to growth simultaneously. Our focus remains on discipline execution, growing higher margin revenue streams to build a larger, more profitable business and deliver long-term shareholder value.

Andrew Musgrave

Okay, Marie, well, it's been great to have you on the podcast again. So, thanks for your time, and we look forward to further updates in the upcoming months.

Marie de Perthuis

Thanks, Andrew.
