Project Overview
Waste Initiatives partnered with Suntory Oceania (formerly Frucor), a leading beverage company, to design and deliver a turnkey onsite recycling centre. This complete waste management solution processes glass bottles, cardboard, soft plastics and aluminium cans, boosting efficiency, safety and resource recovery while supporting Suntory’s sustainability commitments
“Being a greenfield project, we needed to create a way to recycle our waste. Waste Initiatives helped us create a new recycling centre at our facility comprising of an aluminium can baler, a cardboard compactor, plastic compactor and glass bottle crusher. The team delivered on their promise and we’re overjoyed with the result. Thanks!”
Challenge
As part of a major greenfield facility development, Suntory Oceania required a turnkey waste and recycling solution to handle multiple high-volume waste streams from beverage production. Their brief called for integrated equipment that could safely and efficiently process:
- Glass bottles with residual liquid
- Cardboard
- Two types of soft plastics
- Aluminium cans with liquid
The challenge was to deliver a complete onsite recycling centre that reduced manual handling risks, ensured high recovery rates, and aligned with Suntory’s long-term sustainability and circular economy goals.
Our Solution
The Waste Initiatives Projects Team worked closely with Suntory Oceania to design, engineer and commission a fully customised recycling centre. By integrating multiple machines into one streamlined solution, we ensured efficiency, safety, and ease of operation. The turnkey solution included:
- Glass Bottle Breaking System – high-throughput WastePac Glass Crusher with interlocked Versatip bin tipper and drainage tray for liquid removal
- Cardboard Compactor – WastePac SC2500 Blade Compactor with dual 35m³ bins and integrated bin lifter
- Soft Plastics Baler – WastePac 200 Multi Chamber Vertical Baler with dual chambers for efficient separation and baling
- Aluminium Can Processing System – WastePac HX400 Horizontal Baler with integrated dewaterer and bin lifter
By combining these machines into a single coordinated solution, our Projects Team reduced complexity for the client and delivered a centralised, easy-to-manage recycling operation that maximised efficiency and safety.
Results & Benefits
The installation of the dedicated onsite recycling centre has transformed Suntory Oceania’s waste management processes.
Key outcomes include:
- A complete, integrated solution for four major waste streams
- Reduced manual handling risks and improved operator safety
- Increased efficiency and higher recovery of clean recyclables
- Streamlined operations with multiple machines working as a single coordinated system
- Strong alignment with Suntory Oceania’s sustainability and resource recovery targets
The project was delivered on time, to scope, and with outstanding feedback from the Suntory Oceania team.
