Feedstock flexibility
Contaminated post-consumer film, labels, dirt and mixed polymers are expected, not rejected.
Circular manufacturing
Waste made useful.

Plastec Recycling takes Australia's hardest-to-recycle plastics — soft plastics, mixed rigids, plastic waste from other recycling streams and composites from multiple waste sources — and turns them into durable pallets, sheets, hoarding and formwork.
~87%of plastics leaving use in Australia go directly to landfill
14%national plastics recovery rate — the gap we are built to close
3.2 Mtof plastic reaches end of life in Australia every year
What we do
One route for many difficult feedstocks
The plastics most recyclers turn away are the ones we want. A proprietary manufacturing process lets us make dependable products from material that would otherwise be landfilled or burned.
No washing, no water
Our dry process removes the washing stage altogether — lower cost, no wastewater, and a smaller environmental footprint.
Composite strength
Composite materials recovered from multiple waste sources are blended in as reinforcement, making selected products stiffer, stronger and lighter.
Materials we take
Stranded feedstocks, given an end market
If you generate, collect or hold any of these materials, we would like to hear from you.
Soft plastics & film
Post-consumer PE/PP film, agricultural film and bulk bags — including low-value, contaminated grades.
Mixed rigid plastics
Household and commercial rigids that are too mixed or too dirty for conventional recycling.
Plastic waste from other recycling streams
Residual plastics rejected by paper and other recycling processes — an alternative to landfill or energy recovery.
Multiple waste sources
Composites
Composite materials from multiple waste sources, recovered and used to reinforce selected products.
Products
Mixed waste becomes durable products
Heavy-duty, weatherproof and reusable — built for logistics, construction and agriculture, and designed to come back to us at end of life.
Logistics
Polypallet
Recycled plastic pallets made from post-consumer soft plastics, with optional composite reinforcement for higher stiffness at lower weight. For domestic and export freight.
Building & agriculture
Plaspanel
Recycled plastic sheet for hoarding, formwork, fit-out and farm use.
Standard range
Pallet range
Nestable and rackable formats in standard sizes.
Construction
Hoarding
Reusable site screening with composite reinforcement for higher wind-load capacity and longer service life.
Construction
Plasform
Reusable modular concrete formwork — better screw pull and lower deflection in use.
Made to order
Custom moulding
Your shape, size and features, moulded from recycled material.
A genuine take-back loop
Our products come back to us
Every Plastec product is designed for a second life. When it reaches end of service, we take it back and remanufacture it — keeping material in use and giving customers measurable diversion and recycled-content data.
Collect
Difficult plastics and composites gathered from industry and communities.
Prepare
Material characterised, dried and qualified into controlled feedstocks.
Manufacture
Moulded into durable, consistent products to specification.
Use
Years of service across logistics, construction and agriculture.
Take back
Returned at end of life and remanufactured into new product.
Onshore products, local jobs and measurable landfill diversion.

FAQ
Common questions
Quick answers about the materials we accept and the products we make. Can't see your question? Email us.
What plastics does Plastec Recycling accept?
We take hard-to-recycle plastics including post-consumer soft plastics and film, agricultural film, bulk bags, mixed rigid plastics, residual plastics rejected by paper-mill and other recycling streams, and composite materials from multiple waste sources.
Does the plastic need to be clean or washed?
No. Our dry process is designed for contaminated material, so labels, dirt and mixed polymers are expected rather than rejected. Each stream is assessed before we accept it.
What products do you make from recycled plastic?
Recycled plastic pallets (Polypallet), recycled plastic sheet (Plaspanel), reusable construction hoarding, reusable concrete formwork (Plasform) and custom moulded products.
Are recycled plastic pallets suitable for export?
Yes. Plastic pallets are not wood packaging, so they fall outside the ISPM 15 heat-treatment and fumigation rules that apply to timber pallets. They are also moisture-resistant and reusable.
Can you mould custom products from recycled plastic?
Yes. We can mould products to your shape, size and design requirements using recycled material. Email us with your drawings or requirements to discuss.
What happens to Plastec products at the end of their life?
Our products are designed to come back to us. At end of service we take them back and remanufacture them into new products.
