The Journey of ReCree8™ Resin
Pre-Consumer versus
Post-Consumer Recycling
Many products on the market claim to contain “recycled plastics,” yet this terminology is frequently used to include pre-consumer plastics. Pre-consumer plastics are typically clean, unused scraps or factory wastage that would be recycled by the industry regardless as part of their standard operating processes.
Post-consumer plastics, on the other hand, are materials that have served their initial purpose in the hands of consumers and are then discarded. These are the plastics that, without thoughtful intervention, could clutter our landfills and choke our oceans.
At Thinkpac, we actively clear waste from our environment by focusing on recycling these post-consumer materials.
Giving Plastic ‘Waste’
a Second Chance
We put a lot of focus on post-consumer soft plastic ‘waste’ that is destined for landfills after they’ve served their original purpose.
Our unique recycling set up is the direct lifeline for these materials from ‘waste’ to product, providing them with a route back into the economy and away from landfills. We breathe new life into the mountains of ‘waste’ at our recycling facilities, giving them ‘a second chance’.
Crafting the Landmark
Recree8™ Resin
Our commitment to sustainability culminates to our landmark ReCree8™ resin.
ReCree8™ resin is a 100% post-consumer recycled resin that challenges the status quo, offering a second life to plastics that have completed their initial journey.
This isn’t just any resin; it’s a symbol of the circular economy, setting a benchmark in today’s marketplace.
When you choose ReCree8™ made products, you’re not just buying a product; you’re investing in a promise for a cleaner planet.

ReCree8™ Resin Contributing to a Circular Economy
ReCree8™ Resin, developed by Thinkpac, stands as a beacon of sustainability in Australia’s packaging industry, actively contributing to the circular economy. By leveraging the innovative properties of resin, ReCree8™ facilitates the transition towards a more sustainable future through various strategies:
- ReCree8™ Resin incorporates recycled content obtained from post-consumer plastic waste, reducing reliance on virgin resources and creating a market for recycled plastics. This not only minimizes waste but also conserves valuable resources.
- ReCree8™ Resin promotes waste diversion and recycling by keeping materials (including landfill bound materials) out of landfills, providing opportunities for reuse, and giving used materials another life. By enabling the creation of products designed for multiple uses, ReCree8™ Resin actively promotes waste collection and supports the recycling industry, essential elements for fostering a circular economy.
- Incorporating ReCree8™ Resin into product manufacturing not only produces sustainable solutions but also generates demand for soft plastic waste, a critical component of the circular economy.
Through these initiatives, ReCree8™ Resin plays a vital role in driving circular economy principles, reducing plastic waste, and promoting resource conservation.

Introduction to ReCree8™ Resin
The ReCree8™ Manufacturing Process
At Thinkpac, our commitment to sustainability begins with our innovative and meticulous manufacturing process for ReCree8™ Resin. From waste collection to final product realization, every step is carefully designed to minimize environmental impact and maximize resource efficiency.
Waste Collection
Our journey towards sustainability starts with the meticulous collection of post-consumer soft plastics. Through partnerships with businesses, we gather soft plastics with purpose, diverting them from landfills and giving them a new life.
PE Sorting and Separation
Precision is paramount in our manufacturing process. Through our meticulous sorting techniques, we ensure that only polyethylene (PE) plastics enter our process. This meticulous sorting not only ensures the quality of our raw materials but also enhances the efficiency of our production process
Purification via Washing
Once sorted, the soft plastics undergo a thorough purification process. Employing advanced washing techniques, we cleanse the plastics of any contaminants, preparing them for transformation into ReCree8™ Resin. This purification step is essential to ensure the integrity and purity of our final product.
Resin Compounding
Our compounding process is where science meets art. Through precise blending and refining, we transform the purified plastics into ReCree8™ Resins. This proprietary process allows us to create high-quality resins with consistent properties, ready to be molded into a wide range of sustainable products.
Final Product Realization
Here, imagination takes physical form. Our skilled craftsmen and advanced manufacturing technologies transform ReCree8™ Resins into new, resilient, and sustainable products. From packaging materials, each product reflects our commitment to sustainability and innovation.
