     1.   Description of the Technology.

 

Haul was established by Mr Scott Kilmartin in 1997 with the sale of number-plate travel journals at local market events in Hobart, Tasmania. Today haul manufactures its products in Reservoir Victoria, with products retailed nationally.

 

The haul range of accessories caters for the tourist market and younger age groups, being sold with an emphasis on innovative design and their environmental performance attributes. All Haul products are manufactured from or contain recycled materials sourced from a wide variety of commercial waste and by-products otherwise destined for landfill. These include old PVC advertising banners and recycled truck-tyre inner tubes.

 

After a comprehensive assessment undertaken by GECA the haul range of accessories have been awarded a Good Environmental Choice Licence.
