Operating since 1989 were are committed to creating partnerships so that we can deliver the cost benefits of tailored solutions.

Circular Economy

In 2021 Pakaflex commissioned a state of the art plastic film recycler. In partnership with Sustainability Victoria this machine recovers LDPE (recycle code 4, with very high print coverages) and is used to process both internal scrap and wrap returned to us from our customers. Already, this process has been in place for several years with several of our major partners, including AKD Softwoods. They are returning all their scrap wrap from their packing operations. The recovered material is utilised back into the same Enduratuff™ long life timber protection covers to provide a genuine closed loop or circular economy.

This investment also creates more than 2 totally new jobs at our main manufacturing facility in Dandenong.

A commitment to sustainability

RecycleEverything Pakaflex makes is recyclable, and this includes our innovative Enduratuff timber wrap. We are already utilising material returned to us by our customers to make back into Enduratuff again. The recycled material is encapsulated in the special black layer where previous inks and colours can’t be seen – and because we know it’s history – we maintain product strength. This level of closed-loop recycling is at the heart of the objectives of the latest Packaging Coveneant and we are already doing it!

Most of the products we make are designed for the long-term and to resist high levels of UV exposure. As described above, these are perfect for recycling and we are actively working to assist our customers to do this. We are also collaborating with suppliers of compostible resins and special additives that promote degradation where this does not compromise the primary purpose of the product. This is a journey which has already been started and we will be at the forefront of these technologies when they become cost-effective and suitable for our markets.
