The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) is inviting all members to attend a virtual site visit of Replas, manufacturer of mixed recycled plastic, on 14 July.
The Replas virtual tour will look at the manufacturing and fabrication facilities of Replas, with the company explaining the importance of ‘The Pull Through Effect’, implementing a circular economy, and why the TRACE program is the next step for brand owners to act against soft plastic waste.
“With plastic use on the rise, we need to create a sustainable community that reduces, reuses and recycles plastics. At Replas, they see waste as a valuable resource, and are part of making this world more sustainable,” says Nerida Kelton, executive director of the AIP.
“What is the environmental cost in not being involved in the circular economy? By re-thinking your selection and procurement to recycled plastic products, you become the true recycler.
“Everyone touches plastic and we all must be more accountable and responsible if we are to drive demand for recycled plastic products.”
During the virtual site tour, attendees will be able to meet and talk to Mark Jacobsen, managing director at Replas, and Elizabeth Kasell, director of Red Group.
