QUOTE FROM THULI ON WHY THEY WERE CHOSEN AS A FINALIST (HOW THEY APPLY TO THE ENTRY CRITERIA)

"Piccolo 222 Group have found an interesting way of recycling plastic. They produce Poyfibre which is a fibre used in scatter cushions, pillows etc. They sell the Poyfibre to other companies as well. They also use the same material, Poyfibre in their Themo-Soultion business, providing roof insulation. This makes them competitive as they don't have to buy the insulation material. They have provided recycling solution for many companies including Woolworths SA. The plastic they collect does not end up in landfill sites."
