As Coles celebrates National Recycling Week this week, it is pioneering the construction of a carpark made partly out of plastic bags and soft plastic packaging.

It is the first commercial construction project in Australia to use the technology. If used in commercial concrete projects across Australia, it has the potential to divert 105,000 tonnes of soft plastics from landfill each year.
