I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'eco-safe' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'plastic refined in australia exclusively' is the wordplay.
'plastic' indicates an anagram (plastic can mean easily moulded).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'australia' becomes 'oz' (informal name for Australia).
'exclusively' becomes 'only' (synonyms).
'refined' anagrammed gives 'efriend'.
'oz'+'only'='ozonly'
'efriend' put inside 'ozonly' is 'OZONE-FRIENDLY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for ozone-friendly that I've seen is " (Of aerosols) green".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
