REDcycle has previously denied the stockpiling was a cover-up, saying it was an attempt to ride out problems including a spike in returned plastics, a fire at its largest taker of the material and insufficient recycling capabilities in Australia.“[It’s] their choice to be here – up to them to take it up with the liquidator,” Walton said.
