JR Hammer x Think Polymer Technologies – A Partnership for Circular Innovation

At JR Hammer, we’ve always believed that waste is simply a resource in the wrong place. Our collaboration with Think Polymer Technologies has turned that belief into a powerful reality.

Every month, we recover and process tonnes of PVC insulation separated from copper cabling—a material that historically ended up in landfill. Through our partnership with Think Polymer Technologies, this PVC is now being transformed into high-performance products with real-world applications.

Think Polymer’s team brings deep technical expertise and cutting-edge analytical capabilities, developed in collaboration with Sustainability Victoria and the CSIRO. Their ability to understand, refine, and repurpose complex waste streams has been instrumental in unlocking the full potential of our recovered PVC.

What began as a material supply arrangement has grown into a true product development partnership. Together, we’re proving that advanced recycling and Australian manufacturing can not only coexist, but thrive—delivering innovative, sustainable solutions that benefit both industry and the environment.

We’re proud to be working alongside the team at Think Polymer Technologies and excited about the new opportunities this collaboration continues to create.
