Meet Bec Healy, CEO of Boxhead Plastics an Australian-based (Berowra exactly) not-for-profit social enterprise who is taking car bumpers out of landfill and turning them into golf tees and drink coasters!
Only 11.5% of Australian plastic waste is recycled. Bec knew Australia had a plastic waste problem, but I did not realise we were at crisis point. With China no longer acting as the world recycler she felt she had to try and help tackle our plastic problem and Boxhead Plastics was founded in response to this plastic waste crisis.
In 2017 Bec started experimenting with polypropylene car bumper bars, handcrafting boxes from this plastic material. This is where the name Boxhead Plastics comes from.
In 2018 Bec enrolled at Lidcombe TAFE studying Polymer Technology. By 2020, Boxhead Plastics had successfully forged a chain of relationships that turns locally recycled car bumper bars into a feedstock ready for injection moulding. Today Boxhead Plastics manufactures the Naiteev Golf Tee and the Naiteev Drink Coaster from recycled car bumper bars.
