Sustainability isn’t a buzzword at Mantova; it’s built into every shelf. Mantova Real Tuff Shelving is proudly manufactured using 100% recycled Australian plastic, with every step of the process completed right here at home. From raw material sourcing to final assembly, this is a storage system designed for Australian businesses that care about quality, durability, and environmental responsibility.
Australian Plastic, Up-cycled the Right Way
The plastic used in Mantova Real Tuff Shelving is sourced in Australia, cleaned in Australia, and up-cycled in-house at the Mantova factory in Sydney. By controlling the entire process, Mantova ensures consistent quality while dramatically reducing environmental impact.
This isn’t down-cycling. It’s premium up-cycling; transforming reclaimed plastic into strong, food-safe shelving components built to perform in demanding commercial environments.
Zero Waste by Design
Mantova operates a true zero-waste manufacturing process.
- Off-cuts from production? Re-used.
- Faulty moulds or components? Re-processed and fed straight back into manufacturing.
Nothing goes to landfill. Every gram of plastic is accounted for and repurposed, reinforcing Mantova’s commitment to circular manufacturing and long-term sustainability.
Locally Sourced Steel: No Compromises
Sustainability doesn’t stop with plastic. The steel components used in Mantova Real Tuff Shelving are also sourced locally in Australia, supporting Australian industry while ensuring compliance with local standards. Posts, frames, and structural elements are built for strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity; perfectly matched to the recycled plastic shelving mats.
