Shoppers now have another way to buy iconic container brand Tupperware with The Reject Shop selling a limited range.

The products were spotted in the store by a shopper who shared a footage of the products available in a TikTok video.

The clip on the Markdown Addicts Australia account shows the end shelves of an aisle full of different containers ranging from $1 to $16.

Tupperware's availability at The Reject Shop is welcome news for fans of the brand after the US-based company behind Tupperware filed for bankruptcy last week.

Tupperware Brands, the Orlando, Florida-based consumer goods company that produces the iconic line of containers, said it was seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after struggling to revitalise its core business and failing to secure a tenable takeover offer.

Despite enjoying the same cultural ubiquity as Kleenex, Teflon and other brands whose trademarked names are eponymous with entire product categories, Tupperware has suffered from waning sales, rising competition and the limitations of the direct-to-consumer marketing model that once defined its success.

The company said Tuesday in its bankruptcy filing that consumers shifting away from direct sales, which make up the vast majority of its sales more than a quarter-century after the first Tupperware parties, has hit the storied business hard.

The company also cited growing public health and environmental concerns about plastic, internal inefficiencies that made it challenging to operate globally, and the "challenging microeconomic environment" of the last several years for its financial straits.

Tupperware said it planned to continue operating during the bankruptcy proceedings and would seek court approval for a sale "in order to protect" the brand.

In a statement, Tupperware President and CEO Laurie Ann Goldman acknowledged Tupperware's recent financial struggles and said that the bankruptcy process is meant to provide "essential flexibility" as the company pursues this transformation. The brand, she maintains, isn't going anywhere.

"Whether you are a dedicated member of our Tupperware team, sell, cook with, or simply love our Tupperware products, you are a part of our Tupperware family," Goldman said in a statement. "We plan to continue serving our valued customers with the high-quality products they love and trust throughout this process."

The company's bankruptcy filing, though, faces opposition from Tupperware's new lenders, who want the petition dismissed or converted it to a Chapter 7 case, which would liquidate the company. Alternatively, they're asking the court for permission to take action against the company, which could allow them to collect debt they're owed.
