The Circular Economy

What is the Circular Economy?

The Circular Economy transforms the linear consumption model (Take-Make-Waste) into a circular one that keeps products and services in use for longer (well, forever) to reduce environmental impact and protect precious natural resources.

The significance of the Circular Economy

Consumers are increasingly demanding sustainable packaging and the use of recycled content which supports the local Circular Economy.

Since 2002, Pact Group has been a driver of the Circular Economy.

We have three divisions that work as one across the Circular Economy.

Pioneering a whole of product lifecycle approach to sustainable packaging.

Partnering with global brands to local dairy producers, we integrate supply chain efficiencies and sustainable practices into everything we design and manufacture.

The circle starts with a life-cycle assessment to ensure our customers can make sustainable decisions. Processing our own local recycled material makes all the difference. In recent years, we’ve brought millions of 100% recycled milk, shampoo and personal care bottles into the world.

Eliminating single-use through Reuse solutions

The depth of our network and investment in technology ensure vital resources can be swiftly collected, sorted, cleaned and redistributed at scale.

Helping Australian fresh food producers and supermarkets achieve their sustainability goals, our pooling systems to date have replaced over 150 million single-use boxes with 5 million reusable plastic crates. To address the pressing needs of the fashion industry we’ve also recently acquired TIC to create a specialist global ‘Retail Accessories’ arm. This further boosts our Retail Accessories capabilities and helps recycle enough hangers annually to circle the earth more than three times.

Reducing waste through Recycling solutions

We don’t see material as waste, we see its potential to create ongoing value. It’s a complete loop approach. One that demands both the responsible disposal of packaging and the inclusion of recycled content in packaging.

To deliver this at scale, we partner with Government bodies and peak industry groups to continually boost our post-consumer waste recycling capabilities. This ensures
locally-sourced recycled material helps feed our packaging business. That’s ‘circular’ for you.
