With the advent of the China National Sword policy, opportunities to send mixed plastics overseas for processing have diminished. However there is very little local capacity in NSW and within Australia to sort recovered plastics into different types, and convert them into valuable products, reducing the amount of plastics in landfill and filling a gap in local processing capacity.

To help address this situation, Plasrefine Recycling Pty Ltd proposes to build a waste plastics sorting and plastics recycling facility at Moss Vale to convert mixed plastics to plastic flakes and pellets and to produce resins and other more advanced products. The facility would have an ultimate capacity to receive and process up to 120,000 tpa of mixed plastics.
