A food organics and garden organics (FOGO) kitchen caddy made using household recycled soft plastics has been released by Source Separation Systems, in collaboration with iQRenew, in what the companies are saying is a first for this type of bin.
The caddy is produced from a combination of recycled soft plastics and recycled hard plastics collected from kerbside bins. According to iQRenew, the product represents a tangible application for problematic household soft plastic waste, and supports the development of local markets for recovered materials.
The kitchen caddy is being manufactured by Source Separation Systems and is now available to order.
Positioning the product as a tool for councils to demonstrate support for circular procurement, iQRenew said the bin is “more than just a practical product”, and calling it “a great story for councils to support circular procurement, showing leadership in sustainability and innovation”.
The company is encouraging councils to help “continue to build the end market for soft plastics in Australia”. iQRenew also has capacity to process councils' soft plastics through a commitment to buy back products like FOGO caddies, and other products made in collaboration with manufacturers.
