We're designing and building better solutions for glass recycling - Geoff Barnett

Overview

The first machine released by Expleco Limited is the Oppressor GL. It is compact and portable glass crusher that will reduce bottles in volume by up to 90% to a fine grit or sand that can be used in various industrial applications. Currently the company has over 30 units from the first production run in operation around New Zealand. We have managed this with very little marketing and now have global interest in a our product. In the immediate future we will be looking to setup regional distributors and service agents and then begin to market the product nationally before looking to expand into the export markets. New Zealand's recycling system is inadequate and in most parts non-existent and this product offers every establishment with waste glass the opportunity to be environmentally sustainable without sacrificing profit whilst greatly reducing stograge space. Whether it is waste management costs, Waste storage space location or sustainability issues, Expleco aims to change the face of glass recycling.
