Axil’s Approach
On-site technology
Installed a Mini-Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) to sort and redirect recyclables.
Partnership-led solutions
Collaborated with teams to identify efficiencies, optimise segregation, and reduce single-use plastics.
Upstream influence
Guided product and packaging design to encourage 100% recyclability or returnability, phasing out non-recyclable materials.
Upstream Practices
Ensuring all delivered goods have 100% recyclable or returnable packaging and phasing out problematic materials like polystyrene
Quality focus
Supported high-quality recycling for materials, including food-grade plastics, through innovative sorting and processing methods.
The Challenge
Our automotive manufacturing customer was generating general waste with high recyclable content.
Traditional disposal practices were incinerating valuable resources, missing opportunities to save costs, reduce carbon, and improve recycling rates.
The Results
Increase in recycling
Recycling potential increased by 60% through better sorting and education.
Cost reduction
Cost reduction potential up to 70% by diverting materials from incineration.
Enhanced circular economy practices
We advocate designing products with end-of-life considerations from the outset.
Sustainable impact
Materials are now reused, recycled, or repurposed, reducing landfill and carbon emissions.
Why It Matters
Achieving plastic circularity requires addressing design, material quality, and recycling processes. By combining technology, collaboration, and upstream interventions, Axil helps clients cut costs, reduce environmental impact, and maximise the value of their waste.
