Circular Plastics Australia a joint venture between Cleanaway, Asahi Beverages, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) and Pact Group will be recycling billions of used plastic containers onshore with ready end-market applications for the recycled PET material. The joint venture’s first plastic recycling facility in Albury/Wodonga, NSW started operating in December 2021 and a second facility in Altona North, VIC is expected to be completed in late 2023.
Cleanaway will provide the plastic feedstock from its collection and sorting network, Pact will provide technical and packaging expertise while Asahi Beverages, CCEP and Pact will buy the recycled plastic from the facilities to use in their respective products.
Each facility is capable of recycling the equivalent of around 1 billion PET plastic bottles collected by Cleanaway through container deposit schemes and kerbside recycling each year and converting them into high-quality recycled PET bottles and food packaging.
