Is Tupperware still made?
The company that filed for bankruptcy is not the company selling it now — and the brand’s own store had more items out of stock than in, on the morning we counted.
Yes. Tupperware Brands filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on 18 September 2024, and Party Products LLC completed a purchase of the brand and certain related operations in November 2024. The brand is still selling.
What that looks like in retail on 2 September 2026: the brand’s own storefront was live with 22 US listings, of which 10 were in stock and 12 were out of stock. Macy’s carried the Tupperware Heritage line, and the largest single source of Tupperware in the whole pull was the resale market — 160 of 258 usable listings, 62%.
What actually happened to the company
Three dates matter, and conflating them is where most answers to this question go wrong.
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 14 June 2024 | Closure announced for the last remaining US manufacturing plant, at Hemingway, South Carolina, with production moving to Mexico |
| 18 September 2024 | Tupperware Brands files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection |
| November 2024 | Party Products LLC completes the purchase of the brand and certain related operations |
| January 2025 | Completion date given for the Hemingway plant closure |
Dates from the published company history, read 2 September 2026.
So “Tupperware went bankrupt” and “Tupperware is gone” are different claims and only the first is true. A Chapter 11 filing followed by a sale of the brand is a change of owner, not an end of production.
What is actually buyable today
We counted rather than assumed. Here is every route to new Tupperware we could see live in US retail on 2 September 2026.
| Source | What was live | Prices seen |
|---|---|---|
| Tupperware’s own storefront | 22 listings; 10 in stock, 12 out of stock | $6.00 – $59.00 |
| Macy’s | Heritage line and Voila glass containers | $49.00 – $167.00 |
| Woot! | Tabletop stacking tumbler | $17.84 |
| Resale marketplace | 160 of 258 usable listings | $3.99 – $167.00, median $25.00 |

Re-read on 30 September 2026, reading the same feed deeper: the brand’s own store returned 126 listings, 33 of them out of stock (26%), priced $4.00 to $132.00; Macy’s still ran $49.00 to $167.00; the Woot! tumbler was still $17.84; and across all 641 usable listings, 62% of them resale, the median was $20.00. The counts in the table depend on how deep the feed is read, so the table stays as the 2 September snapshot and this note carries the re-read.
The out-of-stock share on the brand’s own store is the number worth carrying away. Twelve of 22 listings unavailable is not a healthy shelf, and it is the most honest available signal about how the range is being run under new ownership. Four weeks later the shelf looked healthier: 33 of 126 out of stock on 30 September. That is two snapshots, still not a trend, and we will say so before anyone else does.
What happened to the parties
The direct-sales model that made the brand is not what it was. Our reference records that in June 2023 Tupperware stopped supplying an independent sales force in the UK and Ireland and moved to online and television shopping channels.
For a US buyer in 2026 the practical consequence is that you no longer need to know a consultant. The routes above are ordinary retail routes.
Two things that are not Tupperware
Both of these came back inside our own search this morning, and both will confuse a price check.
- “Tupperware Rose” china. Edwin Knowles and International Silver both made a pattern of that name. A $3.99 “Tupperware Rose” teaspoon is silverplate flatware from 1955, not a plastic container.
- Books and event tickets. A cookery book titled after the brand and a batch of listings from a ticket reseller both matched the word. We excluded 66 ticket-reseller rows and every book before computing any price on this page.
