Transforming Plastic Waste into a Sustainable Future
Join Us in the Journey Towards a Greener Tomorrow
Naula is the missing link in Australia’s soft plastics life cycle.
Naula is building Australia’s first Feedstock Preparation Facility. This facility will use the latest automated high-speed sorting technology, and proprietary methodology, backed by our team’s in-depth technical knowledge of recycling.
It will receive, clean, and sort soft plastic waste to create high volumes of consistent quality feedstock for advanced recycling plants.
By doing this, Naula will fill the gap in the soft plastic waste supply chain between consumers, collection, and material recovery facilities, and these plants.
The production of single-use plastics is using up our planet’s finite resources and causing a global pollution crisis.
We believe that adding this missing link in the life cycle of soft plastics in Australia will increase recycling rates and reduce the amount in our landfills, and increase the availability of raw materials for the plastics industry that have a recycled component.
This is our contribution to achieving Australia’s climate-related goals.
NAULA'S ROLE IN THE LIFE CYCLE
Naula’s Feedstock Preparation Facility will be the missing link in Australia’s soft plastics life cycle.
We understand that effective recycling of challenging plastics requires a coordinated effort involving multiple industry stakeholders, each playing a unique role in the process.
Here’s how Naula will help:
1.
Redirection from Landfills:
Plastic materials often end up in landfill because they are mixed with other materials and various contaminants that make them difficult to collect and recycle back into products. Naula will work to not only prevent this valuable resources from going to waste, but will also produce high-quality feedstock for other recycling processes.
2.
FEEDSTOCK PREPARATION FACILITY (FPF):
Naula’s Feedstock Preparation Facility (FPFs) will be the essential hub for aggregating and upgrading plastic waste collected from various sources, that otherwise have to dispose of the mixed materials to landfill.
The FPF will be equipped with advanced sorting technologies that enable the removal of contaminants and customisation of the feedstock to meet the specific requirements of other recycling facilities.
3.
Collaborative Approach:
Naula knows that it is only part of the supply chain, and that it is important that the industry work together to achieve our goals of reducing emissions and waste in Australia. We will bring together stakeholders from the recycling industry, waste-management sector, consumers, packaging converters, brand owners, and policymakers.

The Plastic Crisis
In today’s world, the reliance on plastic products has led to a pressing environmental issue. Annually, around 400 million tonnes of plastics are produced worldwide. Only 9% of these plastics are recycled. This contributes to the flow of approximately 8 million tonnes of plastic waste into our oceans every year.
Australians, on average, use 130kg of plastics per person each year. Less than 12% of these plastics are currently being recycled. While some initiatives have been made to reduce the amount of unnecessary plastic used, more work needs to be done to increase our recycling rates.
Plastics, however, do play a vital role in reducing Green House Gasses and in preventing food spoilage. The challenge lies in the inefficient recycling of plastic waste, leaving a significant opportunity for their reuse. Naula is here to address this issue, striving for a sustainable solution that transforms plastic waste into valuable products while reducing their impact on our environment.
