Tripac PVC Take-Back Program

Contributing to a Circular Economy in Electrical Installations

Overview

The Tripac PVC Take-Back Program is an environmental stewardship initiative by Cabac, designed to support the responsible disposal and recycling of used Tripac PVC conduit and fittings. This program aligns with our commitment to a circular economy by diverting end-of-life materials from landfill and returning them into the value chain through recycling, reuse, and education.

Eligible Materials for Return

The following materials are accepted for collection and recycling:

• Tripac PVC corrugated conduit (used, clean, and uncontaminated)
• Tripac PVC fittings (used, clean, and uncontaminated)

Materials Not Accepted

To maintain the integrity of the recycling process, the following materials cannot be accepted:

• Non-PVC materials, including rubber, metal, or mixed plastic types
• Contaminated waste or hazardous substances

Return Process

To participate in the program, please prepare and return materials as follows:

1. Collect and package clean, used Tripac PVC conduit and fittings.
2. Send the materials to one of our approved collection centres listed below.

NSW Collection Centre

Cabac – 8 Distribution Place, Seven Hills NSW 2147
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:00pm (excluding public holidays)

VIC Collection Centre

Cabac – Unit 9/621 Whitehorse Road, Mitcham VIC 3132
Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 3:00pm (excluding public holidays)

Please note: Customers are responsible for freight costs. No recycling or processing fees apply.

Material Processing and End Use

Returned PVC materials are sorted and directed into two primary reuse pathways:

1. Educational Support: Reusable items in good condition are supplied to registered training organisations such as TAFE and other accredited trade training facilities to support student learning.
2. Recycling: Non-reusable PVC is processed by our recycling partners. This includes micronising into powder for reintegration into new PVC extrusion products or other industrial reuse applications.

Our Commitment

Cabac is committed to sustainable practices across the product lifecycle. Through this program, we are supporting the electrical industry’s transition toward a more circular economy by reducing waste and promoting responsible material recovery.
