Sicut Enterprises and Close the Loop have received $5m and $2.4m in government grants respectively, to develop projects that will see 12,000 tonnes of hard-to-recycle plastics recycled into materials for local manufacturing.

Rosanne Jessop, MD of Pilz ANZ, is the new vice-chair of APPMA. With a career spanning 25-plus years in manufacturing, automation, and digitalisation, she brings a wealth of expertise to the role.
