The Journey
How It's Made
Every Stretch Bed starts as recycled plastic and ends as a health resource for remote communities. Here's the journey from waste to rest.
Source
Collecting recycled plastic
Every Stretch Bed starts with recycled HDPE plastic collected from communities. Each bed diverts 20kg of plastic from landfill, turning waste into a health resource.
Process
Melting plastic into sheets
Collected plastic is cleaned, sorted, and melted into durable sheets. This circular economy process creates strong, weather-resistant material perfect for remote conditions.
Cut
Cutting shapes from sheets
Precision cutting creates the components for each bed frame. Every cut is optimised to minimise waste — what remains gets fed back into the next batch.
Build
Pressing recycled plastic legs
Melted HDPE plastic is pressed into four sturdy bed legs using moulds in the containerised factory. These recycled plastic components are the foundation of every Stretch Bed — strong, weather-resistant, and made entirely from community waste.
Assemble
Steel poles through canvas
Two galvanised steel poles (26.9mm OD) thread through sleeves sewn into heavy-duty Australian canvas. The recycled plastic legs click onto the poles. No tools, under 5 minutes. 200kg load capacity.
Deliver
Beds reaching communities
Finished beds travel to remote communities across Australia. Every delivery is an event — families gather, beds are assembled together, and community grows stronger.
