MASTEC, Australasia's largest manufacturer of wheelie bins, is a market leader in practicing a circular economy and eco-conscious manufacturing techniques. Their two and four-wheeled mobile garbage bins are made from a high-density polyethylene raw material that can be fully recycled into new bins, even after decades of residential and commercial use.  

MASTEC has begun rolling out new purple lid bins in the Hobsons Bay area following Hobsons Bay City Council accelerating the plans in their Waste and Litter Strategy 2025 to reduce waste and improve recycling in the region. The roll-out saw over 38,000 households provided with the new glass recycling bin as well as a compact kitchen caddy to assist with collection of food waste and kitchen scraps to help with the new green bin service.  

The company also streamlines the roll out process of new bins and is an industry leader in the field of bin Assembly & Distribution services. The MASTEC MAStrac bin delivery system utilises hand-held scanners and speciality software to provide an accurate and easy-to-use registration and tracking method to provide real-time information during the rollout process.  

Trident believes in sustainability, demonstrated in their endeavour to ensure all practices undertaken do not have a negative effect on the environment. They proudly boast their own in-house recycling facility where all used bins are collected, shredded, cleaned and reused in the manufacturing of new bins. This means they can provide new bins with up to 100% recycled materials, can keep manufacturing within Australia, and can provide a closed-loop manufacturing system. 

As all mobile garbage bins are made of HDPE material, regardless of size and use, Trident can also arrange collection of any old bins at the same time they deliver new bins. 

Trident have taken the extra steps to ensure the manufacture of their recycled bins meets the same standards as bins made from new materials by having them certified to AS4123 – the Australian Standard for mobile garbage bins – and continually assuring this certification thanks to their certified onsite testing facility.

SULO is one of a small number of companies in Australia that utilise polymer processing – taking raw materials and converting them into finished products. While the industry is small by international standards, it’s an important part of manufacturing, and SULO has the ability to process both raw and recycled material into a range of waste and recycling containers. 

The company is committed to leading the way towards a circular economy and has closed the loop by developing a buyback service for used mobile garbage bins so that they can be recycled and reused in the manufacture of new bins. Even the tyres on their bins are recycled – made from 100% recycled car tyres, reducing the number of tyres going to landfill.
