24.01.2022 The World Economic Forum has published our piece on how we perceive plastic, you can read further below: The biggest challenge? Throughout Australia, where our company is based, there are minimal plastic processing or manufacturing facilities. This problem is compounded by the long distances that the majority of products we purchase have to be transported. This has substantial impacts, as resources are transported back and forth unnecessarily, generating needless emissions a...nd road wear, not to mention freight costs. But through direct investment and innovation, and by designing infrastructure that is scalable to cope with the current and future volumes of plastic that are used and produced in each region, we can do the following: Capture what is already in existence Create full transparency and accountability for manufactured plastic Develop complementary relationships between industries. Dramatically reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in landfill or oceans Communicate that plastic is a valuable resource Reduce the amount of virgin material being produced Educate local communities about the differences between low grade and high-grade plastic Develop jobs and industries to give regions a greater influence over the sustainability of their local economy Plastic isnt just rubbish: it could actually be a driver for transforming regional relationships and inspiring true collaborations founded on circular economy principles. The opportunity is there; we just have to look through a different lens. #circulareconomy

20.01.2022 We all know we have a long way to go in the level of processing equipment needed, great statement by Gayle Sloan, CEO of Waste Management Resource Recovery Association. Ms Sloan says a key part of the recycling process thats often forgotten is buying products made from recycled materials. "The loop is not closed unless you buy that back," Ms Sloan says.... "Youre not recycling unless youre buying recycled."

17.01.2022 Waste Management and Resource Recovery Association Media Release: MEM 2019: business as usual can no longer be the way to go Think about this: how would a ban on waste exports work without a corresponding requirement that producers take responsibility for the products they design and create throughout their lifecycles? Where would materials that were once legitimately traded for remaunfacturing go post-ban if these producers and both federal and state governments do not comm...Continue reading

17.01.2022 Lest we forget

05.01.2022 We need your support a start-up business is always a challenge and ours is no exception.

If you are soon to build a fence, retaining wall, planter box or even just garden edging wed love your support. We welcome both residential and commercial enquires. Give us a go and have a look for yourself or refer us to someone you know. Our ReGenWall sleepers manufactured in Cairns tick all the boxes: Structurally tested by James Cook University UV stable Termite resistant Mould resistant Chemical resistant Low maintenance Easy on the tools 100% recycled email us at [email protected] or call 0740547488 to find out more or drop in and see us at FNQ Plastics 368 Mulgrave Road, Westcourt, and have a look for yourself.

04.01.2022 Yesterday was the National Plastics Summit in Canberra. We have advocated for years, as have many people, that we need more focus and investment on infrastructure to drive innovative and lasting solutions to the plastic issue. There has been much talk for the last few years and a very obvious gap that needs urgent attention and one point is we need less of the talk and more action. Investment from the waste levy revenue that is raised to go into the area it was set up to... boost-resource recovery, end market production. Support for research and development to those on the ground putting new ideas into action. Industry standards for recycled products to enhance quality. More transparency and tracking on plastic items. More distinction on high value plastic and not putting it consistently in the same conversation as single use plastic. #circulareconomy #opportunity #lesstalkmoreaction

04.01.2022 Botanica Lifestyle Resort are bringing a unique vision and style to over 50s lifestyle resorts.
