Pact Takes Home Chemistry Australia Industry Award for Milk Bottle Recycling Initiative
Pact has been recognized for their innovative plan to recycle millions of used milk bottles annually at the Chemistry Australia Industry Awards. The company was awarded the Circular Economy Award for their initiative, which involves collecting used dairy containers from household recycling bins and processing them at the Circular Plastics Australia (CPA) mixed plastics recycling plant in Melbourne.
The CPA facility, a joint venture with Cleanaway Waste Management, opened earlier this year and is capable of recycling up to 20,000 tonnes of used high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) packaging annually. This translates to around half a billion 2L milk bottles being recycled. The recycled resin will be used at Pact’s packaging manufacturing facilities in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, which are being upgraded to incorporate more recycled content in the production of HDPE milk bottles.
Congratulations were extended to the team at the CPA recycling plant, as well as the packaging manufacturing teams across Australia, who are instrumental in the process. Sales Manager Geoff Harvey accepted the prestigious award on behalf of Pact, while the sales team and customers celebrated the achievement at the awards event.
Pact’s commitment to sustainability and circular economy initiatives has been recognized with this award. The company is leading by example and setting standards for other businesses in Australia to follow.
