On 20 May 2026, MyEco Group Ltd (ASX: MCO) announced it has been awarded a contract by Penrith City Council in New South Wales for the supply and distribution of compostable caddy bin liners to support the council's Food Organic and Garden Organic (FOGO) recycling program.

The contract was awarded through a competitive public tender process and extends an eight-year supply relationship between MyEco Group and Penrith City Council. The contract commenced on 15 May 2026.

Contract Scope — Products and Distribution
Under the contract, MyEco Group will manufacture and supply its proprietary FOGO compostable caddy bin liners and compostable dog waste bags. Distribution includes quarterly delivery to residential properties within the Penrith City Council area and to the council's premises. The contract also includes MyEco Group's council-to-residents online ordering portal, described as a differentiating factor in the tender submission.
The products form part of the integrated supply chain operated by MyEco Group, spanning resin manufacturing through to bag making and distribution.
NSW FOGO Legislative Mandate — Market Context
The contract is positioned against the NSW FOGO legislative mandate. The Protection of the Environment Legislation Amendment (FOGO Recycling) Act 2025 (NSW) requires all households with a red-lid bin to have access to a FOGO service by 1 July 2030, with weekly collection. Mandatory FOGO separation for supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, hotels, universities, and hospitals commences in stages from 1 July 2026.
MyEco Group's stated strategy is to capture market opportunities created by state FOGO legislation in NSW from 2026 and potentially other Australian states and territories in the future. Penrith City Council has been a leading early adopter of FOGO, rolling out its program ahead of the 2025 legislative changes.
The company cites independent studies indicating that FOGO programs supported by compostable liners increase household participation by approximately 10% and improve organics capture by approximately 30%.

Market Context
MCO closed at $0.022 on the announcement day, up +83.3% from a previous close of $0.012, with an intraday high of $0.042 — a new 52-week high. The stock pulled back from $0.042 to close at $0.022, representing a significant intraday reversal from the session high. The 52-week range spans $0.009 to $0.042. At sub-5-cent prices, the absolute price movement was $0.010, where limited order flow can produce large percentage moves.
Risks & Considerations
Significant intraday reversal: The stock traded as high as $0.042 (+250% intraday) before closing at $0.022 (+83.3%) — a 48% decline from the session high to the close. This level of intraday volatility indicates limited liquidity and potential profit-taking or speculative activity.
Extension years are not guaranteed: The contract has a firm three-year initial term only. The two one-year extensions are subject to mutual agreement and satisfactory performance. The A$6.8 million total value assumes all five years are completed. The three-year base contract value is approximately A$4.1 million.
Termination for convenience: Penrith City Council may terminate the contract for convenience on 20 business days' notice. This is a standard government contract provision but means revenue certainty is limited.
Annual revenue in context: The expected annual revenue of ~A$1.36 million should be assessed against MyEco Group's total revenue, operating costs, and cash position — none of which were disclosed in this announcement.
Single council contract: While the FOGO legislative mandate creates a potential pipeline, this announcement relates to a single council contract. Winning additional council tenders is not certain and will depend on competitive dynamics, pricing, and execution.
Sub-5-cent stock: MCO trades at sub-5-cent levels with limited liquidity. The +83.3% move (from $0.012 to $0.022) represents a $0.010 absolute change, and the intraday range of $0.012 to $0.042 demonstrates the extreme volatility possible at these price levels.
No financial data disclosed: The announcement does not include any company financial information — revenue, cash position, profitability, or balance sheet data.
