About Us - RELN

OUR HISTORY

RELN Pty. Ltd. was established in Victoria, Australia

The first products focused on the dispersal of effluent water. This gained public recognition and Government health department approval for their new approach.

1955

RELN converted its production methods to polypropylene injection moulding, commissioning what was at the time the largest plastic injection-moulding die in Australia.

1970

RELN began a period of intense research and development designed to expand the application of injection-moulded plastic in domestic and industry use.

Under a grant from the Australian Research and Development Board, Reln designed and built the SP-1 Structural Foam Injection-Moulding Machine, which introduced a new concept of injection-moulding to Australia. RELN applied the new technology to the manufacture of robust one-piece large capacity plastic containers that made an immediate impact on traditional methods used in waste water management, agriculture, and aquaculture.

1970

RELN began representing on the Australian Standards Committee, a position it continues to hold today on behalf of the Australian Industry Group.

1987

International Award Winner for New Product Design for 2000 Litre (550 US gal.) Storage Tank.

Competition held by the Society of the Plastic Industry Inc. in Philadelphia U.S.A.

1988

Australian Design Award for the RELN SP‑1 Injection Moulding Machine.

1989

The 1990s saw a dramatic expansion in RELN’s market presence in Australia and overseas. The development and manufacture of 2,450 litre containers, a world first for Australia and the first of RELN’s overseas exports, was accompanied by the development of other innovative products that significantly improved waste-water management by communities and households not connected to city-operated services.

1990

RELN diversified its operations by entering the agricultural market, adapting its technology to develop a line of large-scale robust storage and animal-feeding products that now dominate the Australian market.

1990

RELN also began to forge strong relationships with the environmental movement. The company began developing a revolutionary waste minimisation and recycling technology incorporating the then-relatively obscure science of vermiculture. In just a few years RELN’s Worm Factory and Can-O-Worms have achieved a world-wide profile.

RELN’s corporate policy emphasises innovative approaches to design and manufacture, relationships with quality suppliers, and the use of state-of-the-art technology to meet the most demanding and even unusual customer requirements. Product quality is an integral part of RELN’s manufacturing protocols in the same way that reliability and integrity characterise its business activities.

As testament to the company’s commitment to quality, Reln undertook an exhaustive assessment of its quality assurance systems to ensure conformity with the rigorous standards established by the International Standards Organisation. The 1995 accreditation to ISO 9001 consolidated and enhanced RELN’s position in the world marketplace.

Environmental Responsibility

Environmental responsibility has been one of the cornerstones of RELN’s development. All RELN’s proprietary range of products are made mostly from polypropylene or polyethylene. Of all the polymers used by the plastics industry, polypropylene and polyethylene have the most viable second-life application and are the most easily sourced from the waste stream.

RELN pioneered the use of recycled plastic in Australia and is now one of its leading consumers. Unless required by a product’s unique specifications, RELN routinely uses recycled plastic in its products. RELN’s program development team emphasises environmentally responsible solutions to meet its corporate client’s needs.

RELN’s contributions to waste-minimisation and recycling have garnered significant recognition and numerous awards. RELN has developed strong corporate relationships with leading environmental organisations such as Landcare Australia, Keep Australia Beautiful, and the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as Government health departments and local governments. RELN’s line of recycling products are now distributed by more than 350 local governments in Australia.
