Leading the
Circular Economy
Our Future Pact
At Pact, our vision is to lead the Circular Economy through innovative Packaging, Reuse and Recycling solutions.
Since our inception, we’ve been creating smarter ways of reducing waste through reusing and recycling resources, therefore keeping them in circulation well into the future. We constantly strive to find better ways of doing things to grow business, enhance sustainability and enrich people’s lives. As a future-driven group, we are committed to creating lasting value for the environment.

Our Divisions
Pact’s three divisions work as one across the Circular Economy.
Together these divisions have helped make us a $1.8 billion innovation group and proudly Australasia’s largest recycler of plastic resin.
More About Our Divisions
World class asset pooling platforms
At Pact, we pride ourselves on having one of the fastest asset pool cycles in the world – ensuring your crates, bins or totes are there when you need them.
With a network of wash and distribution facilities spanning across Australasia, we have created an asset pool solution that has world-class reuse rates and efficiency, enabling faster cycle times and maximising sustainability outcomes.
Resorting, re-distribution facilities
Our global footprint of sorting redistribution facilities use automation, RFID technology and a range of digital solutions to track, trace, categorise and disseminate reusable assets such as returnable produce crates (RPCs), folding bins, garment hangers and accessories.
Washing and reconditioning services
Pact offers reconditioning and laundry services to help extend the life span of intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and plastic drums without compromising their quality.
Each year Pact collect more than 190,000 used IBCs and 17,000 plastic drums for reconditioning. Our national collection and buying services provide our customers a cost-effective and sustainable solution to transition away from purchasing and relying on single-use packaging.
World class sorting, washing and processing technologies
To build a sophisticated recycling infrastructure at scale, we have invested in NIR optical sorting technology, washing, extrusion and decontamination lines to replace our region’s reliance on imported recycled resins.
Building scaled solutions gives our Packaging and Reuse customers privileged access to locally recycled resins to create a successful local Circular Economy.
Cross industry collaboration and JV partnerships
Circular Plastics Australia is a unique industry partnership determined to provide more sustainable packaging solutions.
By leveraging the unique skills and complementary expertise of each like-minded joint venture partner including Pact, Cleanaway, Asahi Beverages and Coca-Cola Europacific Partnership, Circular Plastics Australia is building scaled end-to-end solutions that will successfully create a local circular economy.
Government support and funding
Pact Group has received $20 million in funding from the Federal Government’s Modern Manufacturing Initiative for Recycling and Clean Energy Manufacturing projects to support its investments in world-leading technology which will increase the amount of recycled materials in locally made plastic packaging.
The funding will support investment of approximately $76 million in new equipment and facility upgrades at 15 of Pact’s operations in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia, which are to be completed by mid-2024.
Access to high quality, locally processed recycled material
Locally sourced and verified recycled material is what consumers and brand owners are demanding. To deliver this at scale, we are investing in world leading sorting, washing and processing technologies to produce the highest quality, locally sourced recycled resins.
Innovation, design and material science
Advanced polymer science and technical innovation allows us to lead the way in food safe recycling solutions.
Advanced manufacturing platforms
Pact is investing in new and energy efficient blending and moulding equipment, material handling systems and quality control systems to increase the inclusion of locally recycled content in the production of packaging, reuse and infrastructure products.

Sustainability & Credibility
‘Greenwashing’ simply doesn’t exist at Pact. In fact, we’re known as a leader in industry-best practices and committed to rigorous sustainability reporting.
All our business relationships reflect this and we regularly commission independent third-party assessments. At the end of the day, it means we can all take pride in our genuine environmental successes.
More About Sustainability
Over the past 12 months, we are proud to say Pact Group have
increased the number of products we manufacture from recycled resin by 31%.
We are equally proud to have been recognised as
one of Australasia’s Most Innovative Companies
by The Australian Financial Review (AFR) for the past 9 years.
