Pact Group’s recycled SULO bins have taken home a top honour at the 2025 Australasian Packaging Innovation & Design (PIDA) Awards.
Our SULO kerbside mobile garbage bins received the gold award in the Sustainable – Recycled Content category.
SULO was recognised for the 120L and 240L kerbside mobile garbage bins which are now made from recycled resin using used packaging such as shampoo, detergent and sauce bottles, and lids from jars and bottles collected from kerbside recycling bins.
Making SULO garbage bins using recycled plastic reduces the need to use virgin resin sourced from fossil fuels and diverts thousands of tonnes of plastic waste from landfill each year.
Using recycled resin to make new bins can also significantly reduce carbon emissions and water usage from the manufacturing process.
The packaging waste is recycled at the Pact-operated Circular Plastics Australia (CPA) recycling facility in Melbourne, where it is sorted, shredded and washed in the state-of-the-art facility and turned into a high-quality recycled resin.
SULO bins are manufactured in dark colours such as black and dark green, which enables them to be made with the highest quantity of locally sourced, post-consumer recycled plastic.
Congratulations to the SULO team!
