Pact Group and Cleanaway today announced the creation of a new plastic recycling facility at Laverton, Victoria. This facility will become Australia’s largest post-consumer polyethylene recycling plant converting locally collected kerbside materials into high quality food grade rHDPE and rPP resin. This will facilitate the inclusion of locally processed recycled resin into food, dairy and other packaging, enabling brand owners and retailers to deliver on their sustainability objectives.

Pact Group is pleased to welcome the Federal Government’s announcement to extend the wage subsidy scheme for apprenticeships, now ending September 2021.

Breakthrough technology using 75% recycled materials including milk bottles and soft plastics will help build Australia’s circular economy and demonstrate the opportunity for locally recycled materials.
