Sustainable Wheelie Bins

Leading the Circular Economy by delivering complete waste management solutions that are swift and sustainable.

 

SULO products are manufactured by Pact Group within Australia. As leaders in the circular economy, Pact Environmental Solutions focus on setting a new benchmark for recycled content contained within wheelie bins. Our expertise with material science and manufacturing, and priority access to locally-sourced recycled resin, enable us to manufacture a wheelie bin from up to 100%* local recycled content, making it one of Australia’s most sustainable wheelie bins.

*Recycled content depends on bin colour and excludes lid, wheels and axles

We use locally-sourced recycled content to manufacture our sustainable wheelie bins.

Carbon calculator compares carbon emissions and water usage resulting from manufacture of mobile garbage bins (excluding lids, wheels and axles) (MGBs) using recycled HDPE resin against carbon emissions and water usage resulting from manufacture of MGBs using virgin (i.e. newly made) HDPE resin. Carbon emission and water usage information has been calculated using life cycle analysis data generated by the Packaging Impact Quick Evaluation Tool (PIQET) and taking into account standard inputs into the resin manufacturing process, raw material freight to site of manufacture, and the MGB manufacturing process. It does not include delivery to customer or end-user from site of manufacture. Emissions and water usage information assumes that recycled resin is sourced in Australia, virgin resin is sourced from both the Middle East and Asia, MGBs are manufactured in Somersby NSW, and MGBs are recycled in Australia at end-of-life. Calculations by the Carbon Calculator are general in nature and indicative only. Actual results may vary, and individual circumstances may impact these results.

Reduce Carbon Emissions and Water Usage

Compared to using virgin resin, locally-sourced recycled resin can reduce your carbon emissions and water usage. This can play a significant factor in your council moving closer to your sustainability goals and helping our broader community to become carbon neutral. Our carbon calculator enables you to get an estimate of the potential carbon emission reduction and water savings your council could obtain by moving to a bin with higher recycled content.

Reduce Plastic in Landfill

By utilising locally-sourced recycled content, we are directly eliminating plastic waste from your local waste streams. By giving hard-to-recycle plastics a second life in a wheelie-bin, you can take pride in knowing that the bins collecting your kerbside waste, are being made from the plastic they are collecting. By working together on reducing plastic in landfills we can head towards a cleaner environment and cleaner waste streams.
