Plastics & Rubber Logistics Solutions

From polymer resins to finished rubber products — we deliver end‑to‑end logistics for the plastics and rubber industry.

Polymer Resin Transport

Reliable transport for virgin and recycled polymer resins in pellet, powder, or liquid form. We use clean, dry equipment to prevent contamination – ideal for PE, PP, PVC, PET, and engineering plastics.

Synthetic & Natural Rubber

Specialist logistics for natural rubber bales, synthetic rubber blocks (SBR, EPDM, NBR), and latex. We offer temperature‑controlled options to preserve material properties and prevent degradation.

Finished Plastic & Rubber Goods

Transport for injection‑moulded, extruded, and blow‑moulded plastic products – from packaging and automotive components to hoses, seals, and gaskets. Secure packaging and careful handling protect delicate finishes.

Recycling & Circular Logistics

Reverse logistics for post‑consumer and post‑industrial plastic scrap (PE, PP, PET, etc.) and rubber tyre recycling. We help close the loop with efficient collection and delivery to reprocessing facilities.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common plastics and rubber logistics questions.

What types of plastics and rubber do you transport?
We handle a wide range: virgin and recycled polymer resins (PE, PP, PVC, PS, PET, PA, etc.), synthetic and natural rubber bales, latex, rubber compounds, and finished plastic products (packaging, auto parts, pipes, profiles). We also transport plastic scrap, regrind, and PCR materials for recycling.
What equipment do you use for plastic pellets and powders?
We offer standard containers, side‑loader trucks, drop trailers, and reefers for polymer pellets and powders. All equipment is kept clean, dry, and sealed to prevent cross‑contamination and moisture ingress.
Do you offer temperature‑controlled transport for rubber and plastics?
Yes. Certain rubber compounds, latex, and polymer emulsions require stable temperatures (e.g., +15°C to +25°C). We provide refrigerated and insulated containers with real‑time temperature monitoring to maintain product integrity during transit.
Can you handle just‑in‑time deliveries for plastic manufacturing?
Absolutely. Injection moulding, extrusion, and compounding lines rely on uninterrupted raw material supply. We offer flexible scheduling and 24/7 availability to match your production cycles, ensuring you never run out of resin.
Do you transport hazardous plastics or rubber chemicals?
Yes, we are DG‑certified to transport certain polymer additives, peroxides, and chemical compounds used in rubber and plastics production. We ensure full compliance with the Australian Dangerous Goods Code and provide appropriate safety documentation.
How do you prevent contamination of polymer resins during transport?
We use dedicated equipment for clean cargo – containers, side‑loaders, and trailers are pre‑inspected and cleaned before loading. We also use food‑grade liners and sealed packaging to prevent cross‑contamination and moisture absorption.
Can you handle recycling logistics for plastic scrap?
Yes, we offer reverse logistics for post‑consumer and post‑industrial plastic scrap, including PE, PP, PET, and mixed plastics. We collect, sort, and transport to recycling facilities, helping you close the loop on circular economy initiatives.
What documentation do you provide for plastics and rubber shipments?
We provide full shipping documentation including packing lists, bills of lading, customs declarations, AQIS quarantine clearance, and temperature logs for reefers. You also get access to a digital dashboard with real‑time tracking and proof of delivery.
What is the typical transit time for plastics and rubber transport?
Transit times vary by distance and mode. For port‑to‑premises deliveries, we typically complete within 24–72 hours for metropolitan areas and 3–5 days for regional destinations. We offer expedited services for urgent orders.
Do you offer warehousing and cross‑docking for plastics and rubber?
Yes. We provide secure warehousing with climate‑controlled options for sensitive polymers and rubber. Cross‑docking services allow us to receive, sort, and dispatch your cargo within hours, minimising storage costs and accelerating delivery.
