Product Stewardship Programme

First inspired at the WasteMINZ conference in 2018, PLAST-AX has been committed to a voluntary product stewardship programme since January 2019.
It has been submitted to MFE for official accreditation; this provides a clear structure with operating deliverables and diversion goals for now and in the future.
PLAST-AX has funded all the time, materials and capital cost required to implement and develop the ability and processes to make this project function.

Part One

Now

1.

Divert tank grade waste material from our existing manufacturing waste streams.

2.

Clean, chip, granulize, extrude & regrind waste material to mouldable powder.

3.

Use 100% of this powder in our PLAST-AX products (black only)..
Part Two

Now and as we go – it’s a journey

4.

Product End-of-Life take back.

5.

Clean, chip, granulize, extrude & regrind waste material to mouldable powder.

6.

Reuse this processed powder for dumpsters made 100% from recycled material.

Circular Economy

Our way of life

Working together we can keep the planet clean for the future.

Product stewardship is not something you can complete, exactly, or graduate from, it is a way of life.

Our program provides a full circular solution for PLAST-AX waste streams and an end-of-life solution for our FEL dumpster range to ensure that we recover and recycle as much material as possible, continually extending the life span of the resources we use.

PLAST-AX FEL dumpsters made from 100% recycled material have been successfully performance tested to full weight load of 674 lb/yd³. We have several of these dumpsters in service full time to monitor their strength and performance over the coming years.
