Pact Awarded Chemistry Australia Industry’s Circular Economy Award for Innovative Milk Bottle Recycling Program

Pact has been recognized for their innovative recycling program at the Chemistry Australia Industry Awards. The company was awarded the Circular Economy Award for their plan to recycle millions of used milk bottles annually.

The process involves collecting used milk bottles and other dairy containers from household recycling bins and processing them at the Circular Plastics Australia (CPA) mixed plastics recycling plant in Melbourne. The CPA facility, a joint venture with Cleanaway Waste Management, opened earlier this year and is capable of recycling up to 20,000 tonnes of used high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) packaging annually. This translates to around half a billion 2L milk bottles being recycled.

Congratulations were extended to the team at the CPA recycling plant, as well as the packaging manufacturing teams across Australia, who are instrumental in the process. Sales Manager Geoff Harvey accepted the prestigious award on behalf of Pact, while the sales team and customers celebrated the achievement at the awards event.

Pact’s packaging manufacturing facilities in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth are being upgraded to incorporate more recycled content in the production of HDPE milk bottles. The company has committed to reducing waste and promoting sustainability through its innovative recycling program.
