Plastic Forests' recycled product range includes garden beds, garden edging, fence posts, cable cover and commercial wheel stops, re-manufactured from soft plastic waste generated in Australia by industry, consumers and agriculture. We are proud that many of our products also incorporate challenging plastics such as household soft plastics from REDcycle and takeaway coffee cups from the Simply Cup
s program. Our range of quality upcycled products provides a solution for plastic waste by creating a regenerative, circular economy for soft plastics. Now, all Australians can be part of the solution by reducing the amount of plastic used, recycling and repurchasing recycled products. After all, recycling doesn’t really work until someone buys a recycled product! After years of research, Plastic Forests became the first company globally to commercialise a unique dry-cleaning process to recycle soft plastics, without using water or chemicals. Soft plastic films (like packaging, plastic bags & silage wrap) are lightweight and voluminous, and hence notoriously difficult to collect and recycle. Their contamination with organic food residues, dirt, hay etc pose an even greater challenge for recycling. Now, with the closure of Asia to the world’s plastic waste there are few options for used soft plastics in Australia other than dumping it in landfill. Our innovative recycling technology and growing range of upcycled products provides a much needed solution to this global environmental problem. Plastic Forests has been recognised for its innovation, recycled products and contribution to the circular economy, winning a raft of awards including the NSW Green Globe Award 2018 for Innovation, the Inside Waste ‘Circular Economy Award’ and ‘Outstanding Facility Award’ 2018, among others. Our goal is to ‘keep plastic as plastic, at its highest level’ and in the process make the world a better place.
