Welcome to this special episode of @AuManufacturing Conversations with Brent Balinski, one which we're running as part of our quest to identify Australia’s 50 Most Innovative Manufacturers.
The 50 Most Innovative is an annual campaign by @AuManufacturing. This time around it has been made possible through the generous support of MYOB, CSIRO, and the NSW government’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility.
Episode guide

0:54 – A manufacturer, recycler and – at heart – an R&D business.

1:52 – How a lifestyle shift moved Scott from Queensland to South Australia and led to a new business.

3:10 – Inspiration from the Precious Plastic open source hardware-building project.

4:17 – Getting back to chemistry.

5:08 – Tinkering with machinery and different types of collected plastics. Finding polystyrene as a niche.

7:04 – Linking up with Country Road, with things snowballing after a small story on the ABC.

8:48 – A serendipitous meeting at “the magic shop” with Graham Rowe from Dulux Powders.

9:46 – The importance of Rowe’s advocacy inside Dulux.

11:10 – The scale of the problem with waste from powder coating and the difficulties associated with it.

14:02 – The PostPrime material and its first application in bar chairs for concrete pouring, plus some thoughts on the importance of identifying market need for a recycled product.

16:35 – Patenting what they believe is a world first and some further considerations in designing the product.

17:52 – Getting investment, linking with partners, and preparing to scale.

19:20 – A little more on structuring themselves to scale up. Starting the Micro Recyclers Association and supplying them with resins.

20:54 – Recomposition and retail. “If you don’t sell it, it’s not a circular economy.”

22:00 – Some thoughts on defining innovation. Being novel and having utility.

23:30 – The importance of stewardship needs more attention. Some comments on how to design for circularity.
