In a world first innovation, Pact has transformed approximately 600 tonnes of hard to recycle plastic waste into recycled noisewall panels spanning 32,000 square metres of the Mordialloc Freeway. Each panel comprises 75 per cent recycled materials, including hard to recycle soft plastics such as stretch wrap and post-consumer milk bottles, providing a useful second life for single use plastics.
At the end of their 40-year design life, each panel will be 100 per cent recyclable demonstrating the significant opportunity for the current and future circular economy.
