Paid Plastic Collections
-
Our paid collection service is for businesses looking to solve pesky plastic problems like industrial soft plastic and pallet wrap.
This offering is for businesses who have been through a consulting process with us and have had their waste stream and quantities approved by our large-scale recycling partners.
The fees cover consultation, collection and circular processing practices which benefit businesses, the community and our planet. You also help to support us as a social enterprise by creating environmental and social impact - a win for us all!
-
The first step of the process is to book in a free 1:1 initial consult. From there, our pricing varies depending on your waste stream solutions and the quantities you wish to divert from landfill.
Please use the Consulting Enquiry option on our contact form to book in your free 1:1 session.
Custom Plastic Collections
-
Our custom plastic collection service is for the really BIG environmental impactors. Think plastic netting used in food production, industrial wrap used in construction, the list goes on.
We work directly with peak industry bodies to test solutions and create viable closed-loop products for vast quantities of plastic waste that is currently sent to landfill.

Our partnership with Commonfolk is multi-faceted and mutually beneficial. In addition to collecting plastic waste from their Mornington and Frankston locations, we run part of our operations at their coffee roastery. This helps us further reduce emissions created by transporting plastic waste for processing. A win-win!
Support their love of coffee and their dedication to creating a sustainable coffee industry by visiting one of their sites and donating to their charity, The Cup That Counts.

Our collection from The Bays Hospital Maternity is a really special one. We collect their single-use maternity plastics, mainly made up of Sepal baby bottles and accessories, which are processed via our micro-recycling hub, ready for a new life.
They are the only private hospital in Victoria accredited by the World Health Organization’s Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI). This prestigious accreditation recognises our commitment to promoting and supporting breastfeeding through evidence-based practices that protect and nurture both mother and baby.
