NO TOXIC PLASTICS FACILITY. NOT HERE.
NOT NEXT TO OUR FAMILIES, FARMS, SCHOOLS, AND WATER SUPPLY.

WHAT IS THE REPOLY PROPOSAL?
The controversial plastics recycling facility was previously defeated by the community after four years, under its former name, Plasrefine. Now rebranded as RePoly, the proponent has lodged an appeal in the NSW Land and Environment Court, seeking to overturn the Independent Planning Commission’s (IPC) refusal, which was handed down in January 2025.
RePoly (formerly Plasrefine) has launched a Class 1 Merit Appeal in the Land and Environment Court of NSW to challenge the IPC’s rejection of their State Significant Development application to build one of Australia’s largest plastics recycling facilities in Moss Vale.
The proposed site sits close to:
•Homes and family properties
•Productive farmland
•Vineyards and gardens
•Local schools and children’s facilities
•Waterways and wildlife habitat
•And directly next to the leading cancer research facility in Australia.
THIS IS THE WRONG FACILITY IN THE WRONG LOCATION
​
Our position is not anti-innovation or anti-recycling. It is pro-community, pro-health, pro-environment and pro-common-sense planning. We support recycling — but not hazardous industrial activity beside rural communities and agricultural land.
So now we have a new fight, this time in court, with new rules and huge new costs to fund.
Unlike the IPC process, the public gets almost no opportunity to participate in the appeal.
Please join us and local media, to learn about how you can join our fight to Reject RePoly.
WE MUST PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT, OUR ECONOMY, AND OUR COMMUNITY IDENTITY.
WHY THIS MATTERS: WATER, HEALTH AND RESEARCH AT RISK
If approved, RePoly would be Australia’s largest plastics recycling and remanufacturing plant, operating 24/7 within the Sydney Water Catchment — a system supplying over five million people.
The proposed site is situated directly on riparian waterways that feed into the Wingecarribee River and Warragamba Dam. The site is also within a high-risk bushfire zone with no local hazmat capacity, meaning in an emergency.
Research into the contamination impact of micro and nano plastics is gaining momentum, with studies on breast milk and brain concentrations from degrading plastics already causing concern, let alone industrial processes where micro and nano plastics are inevitable.
