Sustainability

We’re actively reviewing our product lifecycles – from materials to manufacturing to end-of-life.

We’re reducing waste by reusing 100% of our internal scrap and have set ourselves a target of quadrupling recycled content on all our products by 2025.

We’re also designing reusable packaging and are introducing an offcut recycling program.

We’re focusing on substituting virgin resin with recycled materials in our manufacturing processes. Our significant investment in a sustainability hub in Toowoomba, QLD will centre around recycling polyethylene (PE) for use in our pipe products.

Our sites in Western Australia and Tasmania will transition to 100% renewable electricity by the end of 2025 with Vinidex sites in NSW, Victoria and QLD to follow in 2027.

We’re also part of Operation Clean Sweep – a program working towards removing plastic pellets from our waterways.

We’ve introduced EPD’s (Environmental Product Declarations) across four of our product ranges to disclose the environmental impact of our Australian-made products.

We’re committed to creating a workplace environment where our people can shine.

We’re introducing more employee benefits that encourage career development, improve workplace safety, and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Our commitment to care holds us to account. You can find our workplace policy at here. Visit our careers page to learn more about opportunities at Vinidex.

As a local manufacturer, we want to take into account the strong links our business has built with local communities.

Our procurement policy ensures that we only partner with like-minded suppliers who adhere to strict Modern Slavery guidelines.

As a member of the UN Global Compact Membership, we’ve signed up to creating a culture of integrity across all parts of our organisation.
