11/8/2022

The lids, bread tags and pens and textas you’ve collected have been saved from Landfill.  
 Lids - The lids have been delivered to EcoPlas in Mt Gambier who make plastic fence droppers  from recycled plastic milk bottles, polypipe and lids.  Check out what they do at https://www.ecoplasaustralia.com.au/ 
 Bread Tags - Our bread tags have been mailed to Transmutation in Robe, where they make them into bowls and platters for shops like Country Road,  Check out what they do and sell at https://www.transmutation.com.au/ 
 Pens and Textas - The textas, pens and other writing materials have been dropped off at Officeworks, where they are sent to be separated and cleaned and melted down and recycled into new plastic products  such as outdoor furniture and decking, plastic shipping pallets, watering cans, storage containers and bins, tubes for construction applications, flooring tiles, playground surface covers and athletic fields. 
Well done everyone!
