Turning Waste into Opportunity
Diverting Soft Plastics Recycle from Landfills
With your partnership, we’re making soft plastics recycling a reality, preventing this material from lingering in landfills forever. We collect soft plastic waste and deliver it to local recyclers while championing research and innovation in plastic recycling. Our goal? To create new products from recycled materials and keep resources circulating within the community.
The Need for Soft Plastic Collection
Why Do We Collect Soft Plastic Recycle?
In Australia, soft plastic is technically recyclable, yet it’s incompatible with council recycling bins. As a result, over 90% end up in landfills. Through our work with hospitality businesses, we discovered that soft plastic—second only to coffee grounds—was a major recyclable being dumped in general waste bins. Recognising this as both a problem and an opportunity, we partnered with a local recycler to establish a sustainable solution for plastic and recycling. Now, soft plastic is a key waste stream we collect, helping businesses divert it from landfills while offering strategies to reduce its use altogether.
How Collection Works
How Does Soft Plastic Recycling Collection Work?
Our soft plastic recycling process is simple and tailored to your needs. We provide your business with dedicated bags for soft plastics, collecting them at a frequency that suits your volume. Once picked up by our drivers, the materials are compacted and prepped for recycling soft plastic, ensuring a seamless transition from waste to resource.
The Recycling Process
What Happens to Plastic and Recycling? When It’s Recycled?
Our Victorian recycling partner employs Australia’s first soft plastic pyrolysis technology, a cutting-edge method in plastic recycling. This process converts collected soft plastics back into oil, the foundational material for all plastic products. This oil is then used to produce new soft plastics, reducing reliance on virgin crude oil and keeping recycling soft plastic local. By supporting this circular economy, your business helps minimise environmental harm and maximise resource efficiency.
Understanding the Fee
Why is there a fee?
Collecting, transporting, and processing soft plastics for recycling comes with costs. Unless manufacturers or governments step in to subsidise plastic and recycling efforts, these expenses are passed along. Businesses already pay for waste collection, and with landfill levies rising, soft plastics recycling is often the most cost-effective option. By choosing Reground, you’re investing in an outcome you can take pride in—supporting a certified social enterprise that reinvests profits into sustainable waste practices for the broader community.
