BRINGING NEW LIFE TO OLD ROAD CONES
07 Mar 2023
Every year Fulton Hogan imports approximately 100 tonnes of road cones. Replacing cones that have passed the use-by date due to wear and tear. With growing stockpiles of old road cones, the company was looking for ways to keep them out of landfill. And that's where Matta™ stepped in!
Fulton Hogan approached Matta™ over a year ago with a waste problem that they were looking to solve – thousands of road cones used in roading projects all over the Australia and New Zealand that were no longer fit for purpose due to wear-and-tear, fading and loss of luminosity.
Instead of sending these to landfill, Matta™ and Fulton Hogan have worked together to take one safety product that was at the end of its life and created a brand-new safety product out of it- our Play Matta™ and Work Matta™ products. 
So far more than 10,000 cones have been recycled as part of the partnership – that’s 50 tonnes of flexible PVC that has been diverted from landfill. Sourcing the waste fPVC product locally is key in Matta’s sustainability journey – it means the products are locally sourced, locally recycled, and locally manufactured.
