We are proud to announce that PolyTech R&D Pty Ltd, the dedicated research and development arm of our company, has successfully developed two new high-performance recycled plastic materials.

After careful consideration and strategic review, we are pleased to announce that Plasrefine Recycling Pty Ltd has officially changed its name to RePoly Pty Ltd.

RePoly Pty Ltd is at the forefront of addressing global climate change through its innovative practices in mixed plastic waste management. The company is dedicated to reducing plastic pollution while significantly cutting carbon emissions, making meaningful contributions to the fight against climate change. By recycling mixed plastic waste, RePoly not only diverts plastic from landfills and oceans but also reduces the need for energy-intensive virgin plastic production. This process results in a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, with studies showing that recycling plastics can reduce emissions by up to 42% compared to manufacturing new plastics from fossil fuels.

Plastic pollution poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste enter the oceans, endangering marine life and disrupting delicate aquatic ecosystems. From microplastics consumed by fish to larger plastic debris that entangles sea turtles and marine mammals, the impact of plastic waste is devastating. Scientists estimate that over 100,000 marine animals and countless seabirds die annually due to plastic pollution. If left unchecked, the damage caused by plastic waste could lead to irreparable harm to ocean biodiversity and global ecological balance.

Plastic, one of the most revolutionary materials in modern history, was first synthesized in 1862 by Alexander Parkes, who introduced “Parkesine,” a precursor to modern plastics. In the early 20th century, the invention of Bakelite, the first synthetic plastic, marked the dawn of an era dominated by this versatile material. Over the decades, innovations such as polyethylene, polystyrene, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) have led to the creation of a wide range of plastics with diverse properties, catering to nearly every aspect of human life.
