OC Eco T-Top Bollard®

An environmentally sustainable product, creating positive social change.

In-line with the Victorian Government’s Recycled First Policy and Social Procurement Framework, OCC Enterprises has recognised the need for socially procured circular economy products designed for the construction industry.

The OC Eco T-Top Bollard® is our premier product. It is the first and only Australian-made recycled t-top bollard that is also creating meaningful employment for people with disability.

AN AUSTRALIAN FIRST

The OC Eco T-Top Bollard® is an Australian first – made from 100% recycled plastics right here in Australia by a Social Traders certified social enterprise. Benchmarked against leading imported bollards made from virgin plastics, the OC Eco T-Top Bollard® is incredibly durable, flexible and long lasting.

Made from a specially formulated proprietary blend of LDPE/HDPE to optimise strength, flexibility and durability, the OC Eco T-Top Bollard® is the ideal choice for Traffic Management Operators and Civil and Construction companies. The OC Eco T-Top Bollard® has undergone both NATA certified laboratory testing and in-field testing to ensure compliance with Australian Standards AS1742.3 and AS/NZS1906.1.

The OC Eco T-Top Bollard® is sold at a competitive price, comparable to currently available import virgin plastic bollards, coupled with its social and environmental benefits.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Currently all rail and road major infrastructure projects in Victoria spend significant budgets on traffic management products and services.
  • Temporary bollards used in traffic management are a significant contributor to landfill due to their short life span and high turnover resulting from the damage they sustain.
  • Almost all t-top bollards are currently manufactured offshore using virgin plastic materials and are not recycled.
