Recently, we debuted a line of tethered caps—fitments that are more likely to be recycled because they stay attached to their packaging. Our tethered caps were the result of years of research, but not all our innovations start within. Sometimes, new ideas come through our longstanding partnerships.

The family-owned business in Wheeler St has big plans to expand that would see three granulators creating an "end-of-life pathway" for the fruit and vegetable plastic trays it produces.

The five-year plan involves a six-stage project that will cost more than $10 million.

To help the business along the way, it has received a $50,000 grant from the Victorian Government's Investment Support Grants – Packaging (ISG-P) program for the project's first stage.
