Sustainable PET Polymer Innovation

At B&C Plastics, we’re proud to lead innovation in sustainable manufacturing. Our latest breakthrough comes through an exciting collaboration with textile resource recovery leader BlockTexx, where together we’ve developed “new-to-world” PET polymer grades made from 100% post-consumer blended clothing and textiles.

Turning Textile Waste into High-Performance Materials

This project tackles one of the biggest environmental challenges: textile waste. Instead of ending up in landfill, discarded clothing and textiles are now being transformed into high-quality PET polymers suitable for plastic injection moulding. This innovation not only diverts waste but also helps reduce reliance on virgin plastics, supporting a circular economy.

Rigorous Research and Development for Industry-Ready Solutions

Over several months, our combined teams have conducted extensive research and development, pushing the boundaries of what recycled PET can achieve. We’ve subjected these new polymer grades to strict testing, including melt flow index, impact strength, and tensile strength evaluations, ensuring they meet the demanding performance and durability standards required by manufacturers.

Setting New Benchmarks in Australian Manufacturing and Recycling

This collaboration demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability, innovation, and the future of Australian manufacturing. By developing cost-effective, eco-friendly materials without compromising quality, we’re helping to drive the circular economy forward and set new industry standards.

What This Means for the Future

Our partnership with BlockTexx signals exciting possibilities for manufacturers looking to adopt sustainable materials. It’s a clear example of how innovation and environmental responsibility can go hand-in-hand — proving that Australian manufacturing is not just keeping pace, but leading the way in recycling and sustainability.
