Brickwood Holdings - Recycling HDPE bottles

In 1989, Brickwood Holdings started up "Full Cycle Plastics"
- in recognition of its corporate and community responsibilities. This
company joined local government in Victoria and South Australia to instigate
kerbside collection of post-consumer HDPE milk and juice bottles. The
company purchased the collected plastic bottles, recycled them at the
Cheltenham (Melbourne) Full Cycle Plastics plant and investigated ways
of reusing the recyclate.
As a result, Brickwood Holdings invested in structural foam low-pressure
gas injection technology to manufacture its range of mobile garbage bins
and materials handling pallets utilising a high percentage of post-consumer
recycled resin.
