Dear Mitre 10 Glenunga ,

I believe you sell Teampoly plastic rainwater tanks and wondered if you could help me.

I am thinking of buying a poly tank but would like to know if it can be recycled when it eventually is broken down by sunlight. I would like to think I was doing the right thing by the environment in buying a tank which can be recycled at the end of its life.

Thanks for your help,
Don Matthews

Hi Elleanor,

I will await your reply from Teampoly which you should have received back by now, yes? Could you forward it to me? If they haven't replied to you could you chase them up ?
Thanks
Don Matthews

Hello again Elleanor,

I'm puzzled why Teampoly say (which you seem to go along with) that it is me the customer who has to contact them. The responsibility of providing advice and answering questions on products is clearly the responsibilty of the retailer is it not?

To say "we are only able to assist with the sales" tells me Mitre 10 Glenunga have no interest or concern in any potential environmental problem Teampoly tanks might cause produce further down the track and that all Mitre 10 Glenunga are interested in is sales and the dollar. This is not a very responsible attitude to be taking.

Please ask Teampoly what they advise you tell customers about the recyclability of their tanks when degraded by UV at the end of their life and forward their response on to me at donmatthews7@gmail.com

Thanking you in anticipation
