Working for the future.
Our commitment to our partners goes beyond delivering a world-class service. We believe it is our responsibility to be effective industry leaders and help tackle the challenges ahead, by working with green plastics, recycled plastics and better yield materials.
We are doing our part.
As a team, across our offices in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, we are committed to doing business in more sustainable ways, taking incremental steps to reduce our carbon footprint and offering our clients a wider range of increasingly sustainable alternatives.
Research shows that real change is more likely to come from incorporating new, more environmentally friendly routines rather than drastic changes.
- Recycled products by Primaplas have grown 6x in 2019 and higher uptake projected for future.
- Recycled PP & PE, Recycled PET, Recycled Polystyrene, Recycled Ready Flexible Packaging & Bio Degradable additives (Ecopure) are becoming a bigger part of our business.
- Resin made from renewable resources is part of our offering (Bio-based Plastics), as well as better yield materials that help customers reduce their own carbon footprint.
- We are taking a more visible role in industry-wide adoption of sustainability initiatives, leading by example.
- We work with suppliers who leverage technology to offer our clients more sustainable plastics alternatives like recycled plastics, bio-based plastics, Ocean Bound Plastics and bio-degradable additives.
Proud to be ‘Ocean Bound Plastic’ Certified.

Plastic wrapping can extend the life of fresh food by up to three weeks.
Food waste-related CO2 emissions can be up to five times higher than what it takes to make the thin layer of plastic.
Recover it,
recycle it,
reuse it.
Plastic has many lives. When we keep it in the materials loop, the possibilities are endless.
Recycled plastics can be re-engineered for better properties.
Developing materials with better mechanical and thermal properties will revolutionise the industry’s scope.
Integrating sustainability
into everything you do.
New Plastic Economy
Part of the Ellen Macarthur Foundation, this is a global commitment to address plastic waste and pollution at its source.
The goal is to eliminate all problematic and unnecessary plastic items, innovate to ensure that the plastics we do need are reusable, recyclable, or compostable, and circulate all the plastic items we use to keep them in the economy and out of the environment.
