25 Mar Plastic recycling solutions for Australian manufacturers: A comprehensive guide to TRIA systems
With growing environmental concerns and stricter waste regulations, Australian manufacturers are under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable plastic recycling solutions. The circular economy model – focused on reducing waste, reusing materials, and recycling plastics has become a crucial strategy in modern manufacturing. TRIA plastic recycling systems, available through Fleming, provide industry leading granulation and sorting solutions that help businesses turn plastic waste into valuable resources. This guide explores TRIA’s advanced recycling technologies, their applications, and real-world success stories demonstrating their impact.
The importance of plastic recycling in Australian manufacturing
Australia produces millions of tonnes of plastic waste annually, yet only a fraction is successfully recycled. To combat this issue, manufacturers must implement closed-loop recycling systems that minimise waste and maximise material recovery. TRIA systems play a vital role in this shift by providing high-performance granulators and sorting solutions that enable manufacturers to reclaim and reuse plastic efficiently.
TRIA recycling solutions: Technical overview
TRIA offers a range of plastic recycling solutions tailored to different manufacturing processes. Their granulators and sorting systems support industries such as injection moulding, blow moulding, extrusion, film processing, and thermoforming.

TRIA granulators
Granulators are essential for breaking down plastic waste into reusable granules, which can be used to make new plastic products. TRIA’s cutting-edge granulation technology is designed for energy efficiency, durability, and precision, making it an ideal solution for Australian manufacturers.
i. Injection Moulding Granulators – Designed to process sprues, runners, and rejected parts into uniform granules with minimal dust production.
ii. Blow Moulding Granulators – Optimised for handling bulky plastic waste, such as bottles and containers, ensuring consistent size reduction.
iii. Extrusion Granulators – Engineered for high-speed granulation of sheet and profile extrusion waste, improving material recovery rates.
iv. Film Granulators – Ideal for recycling plastic films and flexible packaging materials, preventing unnecessary waste.
v. Thermoforming Granulators – Specifically designed for recycling offcuts and waste from thermoforming processes, reducing raw material costs.

TRIA sorting systems
Sorting is a crucial step in the recycling process, ensuring that plastics are properly categorised for optimal reusability. TRIA sorting systems offer high-precision separation technology, reducing contamination and increasing the quality of recycled material.
Circular economy initiatives supported by TRIA systems
TRIA’s recycling solutions align with Australia’s commitment to circular economy principles, helping manufacturers move away from the traditional “take-make-dispose” model toward sustainable material management.
Key benefits include:
i. Reduction of landfill waste – By processing in-house plastic scrap, manufacturers can significantly reduce the volume of plastic sent to landfills.
ii. Lower raw material costs – Reintegrating recycled plastic reduces dependency on virgin materials, leading to substantial cost savings.
iii. Energy efficiency – TRIA’s systems are designed to operate with low energy consumption, lowering overall carbon emissions.
iv. Compliance with Australian sustainability goals – Investing in advanced recycling technology helps businesses meet national and global environmental standards.
Success Stories: TRIA systems in action
Australian packaging manufacturer
An Australian packaging company faced high waste disposal costs and rising raw material expenses. By integrating TRIA granulators into their extrusion and thermoforming lines, they achieved:
i. 50% reduction in raw material costs
ii. 80% decrease in plastic waste sent to landfill
iii. Increased production efficiency due to in-line recycling
Beverage industry plastic recycling
A major beverage manufacturer implemented TRIA’s blow moulding granulators to recycle excess bottle production. The results included:
i. Significant savings on resin procurement
ii. Improved bottle quality through consistent granulation
iii. Faster waste processing, reducing storage and disposal costs
The future of plastic recycling in Australia
With the Australian Government’s push towards National waste targets, businesses that invest in efficient plastic recycling solutions will be better positioned for regulatory compliance and sustainability leadership. TRIA’s advanced granulation and sorting systems provide a scalable, cost-effective way to integrate plastic recycling into everyday manufacturing operations.
For Australian manufacturers seeking to enhance sustainability, TRIA plastic recycling systems offer a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution. By implementing advanced granulation and sorting technologies, businesses can contribute to the circular economy, reduce waste, and lower production costs.
