Reduce, Reuse & Recycle
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION
FROMM Continually work to reduce the carbon footprint of all our processes, operations and facilities, including the use of energy-efficient machinery and tools.
Our plastics production and recycling plants operate with controlled, closed water circulation systems with integrated filtration. In some cases recycled wastewater is used.
Our production facilities work towards or meet almost ‘zero waste to landfill’; no waste is disposed to landfill. Metal, paper, cardboard, wood and glass are separated and fully processed and recycled by local waste companies. The film and strap waste, generated during production, is recovered in a closed cycle.
PET STRAP MANUFACTURING
FROMM is the first packaging company in Australia to manufacture and sell Plastic PET Strap made from recycled plastic bottles.
FROMM Plastic Strap is manufactured using up to 98 % recycled polyester bottle material (RPET) on state‐of‐the‐art extrusion lines. The majority of this recycled raw material is produced, amongst others, in FROMM‘s plastic recycling plant in Wolfen Germany.
The PET recycling plant produces PET pellets and PET flakes. FROMM use the flakes for our global production and on sell the pellets to other users and applications. At FROMM by using recycled resins we are not adding to the total amount of waste plastics in circulation. We use recyclables that are again recyclable. With an input capacity of over 50,000 tons of bottles per year, FROMM is proud to be one of the worlds leading recycling specialists in Europe.
PET STRAP RECYCLING PROGRAM
Recycle your used PET strap through FROMM's Strap Recycling Program.
By leasing or purchasing a FROMM strap chopper, our customers can process used strapping into recyclable pieces. These devices reduce the material from bulky hard to handle lengths into small pieces that fit into 500KG bulk bags.
In our programme, the bulk bags when full of clean and uncontaminated chopped strap are sent to our facility for reprocessing where the material is granulated and processed into reusable resin. The recycled resin is used to manufacture all sorts of items, including "hand grade" PET strapping for other markets.
