‘We give new life to end-of-life plastic’
Specialists in HDPE plastic recycling
Our plant located at Humpty Doo Northern Territory is capable of handling 2 Tonne an hour of end-of-life High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) materials. One kilo of recycled HDPE material saves the equivalent of 1.68 kilos of Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere when compared to the manufacturing of new HDPE.
Due to Government regulations Australia wide since 2021, industrial plastic must be managed at the end of it’s life (not left in the environment). New Life Waste Recycling (NLWR) offers solutions to Industry for large scale projects and returns the HDPE plastics back to the manufacturing sector creating a true ‘green’ circular economy.
Four years of plastic recycling research and development in the north of Australia, New Life Waste Recycling is now focused on bringing recycling methodology to the HDPE commercial market.
New Life Waste Recycling (NLWR) continues to develop partnerships with industry who utilise and require recycling of large quantities of HDPE material.

NLWR’s Journey
New Life Waste Recycling began in early 2020 with the coming together of individuals that saw a need to address the waste of a resource and an environmental impairment that would last eons. Anecdotal evidence in the general public domain suggests we would be dealing with plastics in the environment for countless generations.
Doug Faulkner generated interest with several individuals who possessed various expertise to come together to visualise a solution. He was joined by Steve Tatzenko (Environmental Scientist) John Kelly (Corporate Accountant) and they then engaged with Mark Finney of Vinidex Australia to discuss the practicality and possibility of recycling end of life HDPE from mine sites in the Northern Territory including the controversial Ranger Uranium Mine.
Fast forward 5 years and New Life Waste is well advanced in the safe and responsible recycling of HDPE (poly pipe) from our environment. Thanks to John Kelly’s vision and perseverance the New Life Family now includes Patrick Higgins (Risk Manager) and a team of dedicated workers who also share the vision.
New Life is building a bridge to bring together the mining companies, traditional land owners and manufacturers to facilitate a true ‘green’ circular economy. Our process provides the missing link to correctly mitigate environmental contamination.
