What a great day at Bacchus Marsh EasterFest!

It was a pleasure to meet so many local residents today and chat about our proposed APR ChemCycle advanced recycling facility right here in Bacchus Marsh. We’re passionate about creating local solutions for soft plastics—and it was fantastic to see that passion shared by the community.

A big thank you to those who brought along bags of soft plastics for us to recycle ♻️ Every little bit helps!

And an extra special shoutout to Dotty and her amazing team of volunteers for putting on such a well-run and welcoming event. We had a ball and can’t wait to be back next year!

We’re proud to support the incredible work of the MAD Foundation 🙌

APR has been a committed supporter of MAD events for more than 20 years, helping make a real difference to families doing it tough.

We’ve cut together a short clip from a recent chat with MAD ambassador and AFL star Tom Lynch on his appearance on Channel 7's Sunday Footy Feast, where he shares what the MAD Foundation is all about.

Every cent raised by MAD goes directly to families in need — no red tape, just real support when it matters most.

We’re honoured to play a small part in the big impact MAD continues to make in our community ❤️

🏏 Cricket, Community & A Cause! 🏏

Yesterday, APR Plastics had the privilege of hosting a T20 Cricket Match in support of the MAD Foundation, and what a day it was! Despite the scorching temperatures, the spirit on the field (and off!) was unbeatable.

A huge thank you to Paul Connors from Connors Sports Management, who arranged the AFL players, and MAD Ambassador Tom Lynch, who led the talented team. We’re also grateful to all the AFL players who joined us to play and to our incredible APR team members who showed up to support such a fantastic cause. The MAD Foundation does incredible work helping children and young people facing hardship, and we’re proud to be part of their mission.

📦 This National Recycling Week, Australian Paper Recovery is celebrating the power of cardboard recycling! From local small businesses to large multinational operations, cardboard is a valuable resource that we transform into new paper and cardboard products. By recycling cardboard, businesses reduce landfill waste, conserve precious natural resources, and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future for our planet.

Let’s keep cardboard moving through the recycling loop! ♻️

APR Plastics and APR Kerbside were honoured to welcome The Federal Minister for the Environment and Water, Hon. Tanya Plibersek, MP, and Attorney-General Hon. Mark Dreyfus KC to the APR Plastics processing facility during March. This visit marked a significant moment as it was announced that a substantial grant of $1,000,000 would be provided through the Victorian Circular Economy Recycling Modernisation Fund. This grant will facilitate the development of Australia’s first dedicated soft plastics optical sorting plant.

The establishment of this cutting-edge facility represents a pivotal step towards enhancing Australia's recycling infrastructure. By ensuring an optimal stream of soft plastics to both APR Plastics advanced recycling plant and to our existing mechanical recyclers, the plant stands as an innovator in the nation's efforts to advance plastic recycling capabilities. Its implementation signifies a commitment to fostering circularity within the domestic plastic recycling industry.

Supported by a robust and expanding partner network, APR Plastics and APR Kerbside are resolute in our dedication to realising a genuine circular economy for soft plastics in Australia. This venture underscores our commitment to sustainability and emphasises our role as leaders in driving positive change within the industry.
