Australian Company Ordered DeSpray Systems
At IFAT in Munich, Dutch-based DeSpray Environmental signed a long-term multi-million contract with the Australian-based ARRG Waste for its aerosol recycling systems.
As reported by the provider, this is the first time in DeSpray’s history that its aerosol recycling machines will be shipped to Australia and the Asia Pacific. “With this multimillion-dollar order, DeSpray Environmental has been found as a long-term partner to install the 100 percent aerosol recycling machines at several ARRG Waste locations.” From its headquarters in Chinchilla (Queensland), the Australian company operates a range of waste management and recycling services. The cooperation with DeSpray would fit into their business model.
According to DeSpray Environmental, the arrival of the machines “should put a dent into the 250 million aerosol cans that are consumed in Australia every year and are not recycled properly”. The company expects that other countries in the Asia Pacific will also follow the example of ARRG Waste in Australia and practice aerosol recycling.
