Mountain Blue and Opal Partner to Launch Plastic Free Cardboard Packaging Trial
More than a dozen forward-thinking Victorian councils have committed their non-recyclable household waste to the Maryvale Energy from Waste (EfW) project, which is the most progressed of its kind in Victoria, to help divert it from landfill.
Melbourne, Australia: Great Wrap, a B Corp Certified material science company, has partnered with Opal one of Australia and New Zealand’s leading cardboard packaging and recycling companies, to exclusively offer the only Australian made Compostable Machine Pallet Wrap for businesses of all sizes in Australia and New Zealand, enabling them to divert traditional pallet wrap away from landfills.
The Maryvale Energy from Waste (EfW) project has been successfully awarded the first Energy from Waste licence from Recycling Victoria under the Waste to Energy Scheme.
Opal’s world class, $140 million corrugated cardboard packaging facility in Wodonga has officially opened. Opal’s Wodonga facility, which utilises the latest advanced, high-speed packaging manufacturing technology, has a total footprint of approximately 55,000 square metres.
The Maryvale Energy from Waste (EfW) project, led by consortium partners Opal, Veolia and Masdar Tribe Australia, is going from strength to strength following the signing of the grant agreement for $48.2 million under the Manufacturing Collaboration Stream of the Modern Manufacturing Initiative (MMI).
Opal’s $140 million high tech corrugated cardboard packaging facility is on track to be completed and operational by October 2023.
Opal and JBS Australia are delighted to have won a 2023 WorldStar global packaging award in the transit category for their innovative corrugated cardboard dunnage solution.
The dunnage was previously awarded Gold in both the Sustainable Packaging Design of the Year Industrial sub-category and Outside of the Box Design of the Year at the Australasian Packaging Innovation & Design Awards in 2022.
