🌏 APR Plastics was honoured to be one of 25 exhibitors at the Australian Made Recovered Resources Showcase in Canberra, hosted by the National Waste & Recycling Industry Council and Australian Council of Recycling (ACOR) during National Recycling Week! We proudly showcased our innovative process of recycling end-of-life soft plastics into synthetic oil, which can be remade into new food-grade plastics—a critical step in advancing the circular economy. Events like this shine a spotlight on the incredible progress being made across Australia’s waste and recycling sector, and we’re thrilled to be part of the journey toward a more circular and sustainable future. ♻️ #NationalRecyclingWeek #APRPlastics #CircularEconomy #SoftPlasticsRecycling #AustralianMade #Innovation

🚀 We’re getting closer to making the dream of ‘chip packet to chip packet’ soft plastic recycling a reality! It’s exciting to see APR Plastics and APR ChemCycle featured in Waste Management Review, showcasing how our advanced pyrolysis technology is about to transform hard-to-recycle plastics into valuable resources. This project is a critical step towards true circularity in plastic recycling, helping us keep soft plastics out of landfills and put them back into the economy where they belong. Check out the article to learn more about the future of sustainable packaging and our journey in advanced recycling. 🌱♻️ #APRchemcycle #CircularEconomy #SustainablePackaging #AdvancedRecycling #WasteManagementReview

♻️ At APR Plastics, we’re proud to celebrate National Recycling Week by spotlighting our work in mechanical recycling of LDPE! Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) – commonly used in plastic bags, stretch wrap, and various packaging – is given a new life through our recycling processes. The used LDPE is carefully cleaned, shredded, heated, and transformed into new pellets, perfect for non-food grade applications. We even use these recycled pellets to create 100% recycled builders film, supporting sustainable construction. Each step we take helps keep plastic out of landfill and puts it back into the circular economy. Together, let’s reduce, recycle, and reinvent the future of plastic! 🌍 #NationalRecyclingWeek #APRPlastics #LDPERecycling #MechanicalRecycling #CircularEconomy

🌱 APR Kerbside and APR Plastics were thrilled to partner with Hobson's Bay Council for Saturday’s e-waste and soft plastics recycling drop-off event! The communities engagement was incredible, with 744 vehicles dropping off materials, many people waiting over 30 minutes to ensure their recycling was properly handled. 🚗♻️ It was inspiring to see so many boot loads of soft plastics coming in for responsible recycling, resulting in a total of 50 full 1100L bins collected throughout the day! A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make this event a success. Together, we’re making real strides towards a more sustainable future! 🌍💚 #APRPlastics #APRKerbside #Sustainability #HobsonsBay #CommunityRecycling #SoftPlastics #SoftPlasticRecycling
