What Makes The Plaspole Superior?
- Sustainable Alternative to Steel: For years, traditional light poles in Australia have been manufactured from virgin steel in China, causing significant greenhouse gas emissions due to mining, beneficiation and transportation. However, our new sustainable street light named Plaspole offers a sustainable alternative.
- Lower Carbon Footprint: The Plaspole was independantly tested to show its CO2 emmissions of 248kg was less than 2/3 of a traditional steel pole with 380kg.
- Recycled & Locally Sourced Materials: Plaspole’sTM outer skin is made of a thin aluminium layer, which is UV and weather-resistant and can be painted to match the surrounding environment. The inner core of the pole is where the real magic happens - recycled plastic, collected from Australian kerbside post-consumer collection, is injected into the core in a molten state and under pressure. As the plastic cools, it bonds with the aluminium skin, enhancing the pole’s structural integrity.
- End Of Life: At the end of their life, all three input materials—steel, aluminium, and plastic—are separated during recycling and reintroduced into the circular economy. This, in turn, reduces the demand on our natural resources.
- Durable & Corrosion-Resistant: The recycled polymeric material used in PlaspoleTM comes from post-consumer waste, such as milk bottles and yoghurt containers, and provides a longer useful life to these items. The innovative manufacturing process of PlaspoleTM reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and the amount of virgin materials required.
- Seamless Cable Intergration: To ensure ease of connectivity, a thin steel tube is incorporated through the centre of the polymeric core, allowing cables to pass through. The composite material used in PlaspoleTM results in a high-strength pole that can withstand wind loading and service deflection limits while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of traditional light poles.
An innovative and sustainable solution for lighting poles in Australia.
Our product represents a technical leap forward in manufacturing and sustainability, with a commitment to excellence that goes far beyond the function of a mere light pole.
We are proud to offer a product that not only serves its intended lifespan of 25 plus years, but also supports the wider community by returning manufacturing to Australia and using recycled materials.
We believe in minimising our environmental footprint by incorporating waste materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. We are committed to making a positive difference to our planet.
To give you a detailed understanding of PlaspoleTM, we haved provided product images and descriptions. We have conducted independent structural testing in line with both VESI and Australian Standards.
