The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) has organised a site visit to the Banyule Material Recovery Facility and Rethink Education Centre.
The event will be held on 15 August, offering visitors the chance to gain a better understanding of recycling.
The Rethink Centre is part of a working industrial site devoted to waste and recycling.
The site includes a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and is seven kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD.
As a part of the tour, participants will visit a working MRF and observe what happens to the contents of household recycling bins.
They will also learn how science and technology play a part in sorting used newspapers, cardboard boxes, jam jars, soup cans, and soft drink bottles and cans into paper, glass, steel, plastics and aluminium ready for reprocessing.
All of industry is invited to attend. Register here or email info@aipack.com.au.
