Novelplast saves 25,000 tonnes of plastic from landfill with help from OSSM and NetSuite

OSSM, an Oracle NetSuite Solution Provider, has announced that Irish plastics recycling company Novelplast is using NetSuite to support its mission to be a world leader in improving the sustainability of plastics. With NetSuite, Novelplast has been able to save an average of 25,000 tonnes of plastic from entering landfill each year.

Based in Gibbstown in the Gaeltacht area of Co. Meath, Novelplast’s recycling technology is the first of its kind in Europe. Novelplast recycles post-industrial and post-consumer plastic materials otherwise headed for landfill, and it produces an innovative, sustainable product called Revive that helps contribute to a circular economy. To support its rapid growth, sustainability goals, and plans to raise up to €100 million for a new venture, Novelplast selected OSSM to help implement NetSuite and streamline operations for Novelplast’s 60 employees across production, supply chain, sales, customer service, and finance.

“As the largest plastics recycler in Ireland, streamlined processes and efficient collaboration across the organisation is vital,” said Neil Skeffington, CEO, Novelplast. “As our business expands, so does the volume of data that we handle day-to-day. With OSSM’s support, NetSuite helps us improve efficiency and enables us to remain focused on delivering value-added recycling services for our customers.”

With NetSuite, Novelplast has a foundation that is helping to drive operational efficiencies, automate manual processes, and improve collaboration across departments. NetSuite helps Novelplast’s teams quickly and easily view purchase orders, scan materials into production, create barcodes for finished goods, and manage customer invoicing.

It also automates processes across packing, delivery, stock management, inventory management, and reporting. In addition, OSSM’s development team has designed a custom mobile application for Novelplast’s teams operating within the recycling plant that helps improve visibility and collaboration across all teams and departments in the business.

“Novelplast is making an invaluable contribution to the circular economy and, in turn, a huge impact on our environment through its incredibly important work,” said Sinéad Galligani, Chief Marketing Officer, OSSM. “OSSM’s implementation of NetSuite and ongoing support helps Novelplast create reliable digital processes across all functions of its business as it continues to innovate and expand. Designed with the future in mind, this system will enable Novelplast to scale up processes as it grows.”
