Innovation in Hume: Welcoming Mayor Cr Carly Moore to the IPS Factory
Sustainable Manufacturing in Action
We were thrilled to recently welcome the Mayor of Hume City Council, Cr Carly Moore, to the Innovative Plastic Solutions (IPS) factory on Sydney Road where Supercart products are made.
The delegation was given a first hand look at our specialized manufacturing process, which centers on turning recycled Australian post-consumer plastic into high-quality retail solutions. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase how we are innovating through local design and recycled materials to create tangible applications for upcycled plastic—all while supporting local jobs.
Spotlight: The New Australian-Designed 215L Trolley
The highlight of the tour was our newest addition to the fleet: the 215L shopping trolley.
As pictured above, this trolley represents the pinnacle of our current sustainability efforts. It isn't just assembled here; the 215L model is:
Proudly Designed in Australia: Engineered specifically for the needs of the Australian retail market.
Locally Moulded: Injection moulded on-site at our Sydney Road facility.
100% Post-Consumer Plastic: Crafted from recycled Australian materials, giving new life to local waste.
By combining local design expertise with advanced recycling technology, we are proving that the circular economy can thrive right here in Hume.

Our trolleys just got bigger and better with the addition of our new 215L shopping trolley. It’s designed and manufactured in Australia with the same great styling, rugged design and nimble handling as its smaller siblings, while adding a larger basket and a dual child seat as standard
Made From Recycled Plastic
The 215L trolley is sustainable too, with all of the HDPE plastic parts being made entirely from recycled Australian post-consumer waste. This includes kerbside waste collection where single use packaging like milk and juice bottles are upcycled into our shopping trolleys helping us to close the loop. Each trolley contains the equivalent of 205 two-litre milk bottles worth of recycled plastic.

Anglesea IGA customers rate our Supercart trolleys
Anglesea IGA is one of the first Australian supermarkets to become truly sustainable, banning plastic bags years ahead of its time. We demonstrated our trolleys down during the Living Green festival to hear what shoppers had to say.
If you Google Anglesea IGA you will discover this was the first Australian supermarket to become truly sustainable, banning plastic bags years ahead of its time. It’s a classic, coastal shopping centre, located in the centre of the Anglesea shopping precinct, so close to the ocean you can feel the sea breeze on your face. The store has been family-owned for 37 years, with father Peter Calvert handing the reigns to his son Ryan in recent times. Peter and Ryan trialed the Supercart trolleys in their store during the Green Living Festival and this is what customers had to say.
