REDCYCLE

As a sustainability-focused organisation, RollsPack is proud to partner with the REDcycle program, an initiative designed to recover and recycle plastics that would otherwise go to into landfill.

The program is a partnership between manufacturers, retailers and consumers. The REDcycle team place specially marked bins at Coles & Woolworths supermarkets which consumers can drop their soft plastics into. These are then collected and sent to REDcycle’s partner Replas who utilise the material to create outdoor furniture, bollards, decking, and dog agility equipment. We are currently updating our packaging to include the Recycling and REDcycle logos.

Compostable bags are hailed as great environmental solutions but in truth, they aren’t as effective as people may think. The primary issue with compostable materials is the elements they need in order to breakdown. Composting requires sunlight, oxygen, and water which makes it challenging. Particularly when you consider the conditions they are likely to experience when placed in landfill. Buried underneath dirt and waste, they will not be able to breakdown and as such, lose all sustainable benefits.

A recent study found that Biodegradeable plastic bags were still able to carry shopping after being submerged in soil and water for three years… for the full story click here.

MORDIALLOC SUSTAINABLE FREEWAY INITIATIVE

In a world first, the noise walls along the Mordialloc Freeway will be made from 75% recycled plastic collected from households across the state. The recycled noise wall panels will help divert more than 570 tonnes of plastic waste from landfill. The panels are made from a mix of kerbside recycled plastics including milk bottles, juice bottles, and shampoo bottles and soft plastics such as bread bags, food wrappers and bubble wrap – the equivalent of the amount of plastic waste collected from 25,000 Victorian homes in one year.
