Soft plastics recycling for businesses

Soft plastic recycling is so important for businesses and residential complexes that generate large amounts of soft plastic waste, such as packaging, shopping bags, and wrappers. Traditionally, these plastics have been difficult to recycle. Now, we’ve partnered with APR plastics, ensuring that soft plastics can be recycled instead of ending up in landfills.

Recycling these materials means:

  • Less waste in Sydney landfills
  • Less impact on the local environment
  • Better sustainability reputation for your business
  • Savings on other waste removal methods.

We make recycling soft and flexible plastics simple and effective. We make it easy for businesses in Sydney to recycle their plastics easily with the following process. We’re always here to tailor a service to suit your needs, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team to discuss your recycling needs.

Bins delivered

We provide businesses with dedicated soft plastic bins, ensuring that soft plastics are separated from general waste and easily collected.

A monthly pick-up

Our team collects your soft plastics every month, making the process convenient and effortless.

Baling and loading

After the materials have been collected, the soft plastics are transported to a dedicated warehouse in Peakhurst, where they are bailed and loaded onto Pantech trucks.

Recycling at APR Plastics

Once the truck is full, your soft plastics are taken to APR Plastics for recycling. APR Plastics uses an advanced process to break down the plastics into resin, which is then used to create new products, without the need for new plastic!

This process ensures that your soft plastic waste is recycled responsibly and turned into valuable new products, reducing the environmental impact of your business and eliminating waste.
