Our commitment to creating a greener future drives everything we do.

Discover how our innovative packaging solutions contribute to a sustainable world, transforming waste into valuable resources and promoting environmental responsibility.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

At Thinkpac, we are dedicated to minimizing environmental impact through sustainable practices. Our mission is to provide high-quality packaging solutions made from post-consumer recycled materials. We aim to lead the market in sustainability by continuously innovating and adhering to the highest environmental standards.

Key Initiatives:

    • Reducing Carbon Emissions: We aim to lower our carbon footprint through efficient production processes and the use of renewable energy sources.
    • Increasing Recycled Content: Our goal is to maximize the use of recycled materials in our products, reducing reliance on virgin plastics.
    • Promoting the Circular Economy: By creating demand for recycled products, we support waste collection and recycling efforts, driving a circular economy for soft plastics.

Why Recycle?

Avoid Upstream Energy Use

Recycling plastic film avoids the upstream energy necessary to produce one ton of new product and saves about 2 tons of CO2 annually.

Increase Productivity

Recycling increases the productivity of already manufactured materials, therefore reducing the need to extract more virgin material

(APCO, 2021)

Lower Environmental Impacts

Recycling lowers the environmental and climate impacts of packaging overall, including less litter

(APCO, 2021)

A Competitive Advantage

Recycling forms a stronger, more innovative and collaborative, globally competitive Australian packaging industry.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

It is conservatively estimated that there is a 30 percent carbon saving for recycled plastic.

Join the Future economy

Repurposing soft plastics is not merely a function of present need but is truly the next frontier of environmental and economic innovation.

The Circular Economy

The traditional ‘take, make, waste’ model is no longer viable.

At Thinkpac, we embrace the circular economy by transforming soft plastic waste into high-demand packaging products. This not only reduces waste but also provides economic incentives for waste collectors to recycle more.

Sustainable Materials and Products

Our products are made from ReCree8 resin, a 100% post-consumer recycled material.

This innovative resin ensures our packaging solutions are both durable and environmentally friendly.

Our Value Chain for
Post Consumer Soft Plastics

Soft Plastic Packaging Sustainability

Your Opportunity

18%

Only 18 percent of all plastic packaging used in Australia is recycled or composted, while 82 percent ends up in landfill and our natural environments

32.7%

Soft flexible plastics represent about 32.7% of all plastic packaging used in Australia, but only has a low recovery rate of 10.7% as of 2018/19.

3%

Soft plastic packaging had the lowest rate of recycled content at only 3% of pre-consumer recycled content in 2018/19.

2040

Our use of plastic is increasing and across the world will double by 2040. By 2050, it is estimated
that plastic in the oceans will outweigh fish.

Repurposing plastic waste products while diverting them away from landfill makes sense!
