Outperforming the
EU standard.
Lab result from EU Regulation 10/2011 testing, Roediger Agencies, February 2025. The tank figure scales the lab result by the plastic surface each litre of water touches in a 1000 L tank: EU limits assume 6 dm² per litre, a 1000 L tank exposes 0.56 dm².
No traces found of BPA, phthalates, heavy metals, PCBs, dioxins, furans or mineral oils.
Batch quality control
Every pallet tested, every batch certified
No Fenix pallet leaves the factory until it has been moulded, tested and signed off, and every pallet ships with its own Certificate of Conformance.
- Rotomoulded part test
- Moulded sample
- Falling-dart impact
- ≥ 14.40 J/mm
- Dry flow
- ≤ 30 s
- Shrinkage
- 2.0 to 4.0%
- Visual and dimensional
- Pass
- UV stabilisation
- Per recipe
Surface integrity, colour consistency, no defects
Toughness under impact
Consistent powder flow, no bridging (ASTM D1895 Method B)
Dimensional stability after moulding
No porosity, inclusions or warping; uniform colour; ductility
Supplier certificate retained against the grade specification
Traceability
A physical sample of every batch is retained on file. If a question is ever raised about a tank, the exact material it was made from can be retested.
Closed loop
We mould our own tanks from our own material, every day. The material we test is the material we trust in the field.
The client test
More than clients. Business partners.
Competes with virgin
There is great market potential for a supplier of quality rotomoulding grades that can compete with virgin on mechanical properties and reliability but at a lower price. Fenix delivers on their promises.
Performance for 10+ years
We completely trust Fenix materials for more than 10 years to deliver the performance we need.
Price and quality
The combination of price and quality has been outstanding.
The field test
We mould our own tanks from our own powder.
Before a grade reaches your factory, it has been through our ovens. 10,000 water tanks later, that is the test that matters most.
Grades and colours
A grade for every layer
UV-stabilised recycled polyethylene powder, made to order (apart from the 3040 liner grade). Choose by layer and application, and request a moulded colour sample before you order.
Outer layer and high impact
For the colour layer of tanks, or for non-complex products that need high impact strength.
Single-layer, outer layer and general products
For single-layer tanks, septic tanks and general rotomoulded products. These grades also work as the outer layer of multi-layer tanks.
Base grades for pigmenting
Lightly tinted, translucent grades for dry-blending your own outer-layer colours.
Inner layer
Liners for tanks, used with the outer and single-layer grades.
Colours on screen are indicative. Request a moulded colour sample before ordering. Custom colours on request.
Made with Fenix
Far more than water tanks
Our moulders turn Fenix RotoPowder into products for farms, homes, sanitation and infrastructure.
Also moulded from Fenix powder: wheelie bins, road barriers, buckets and more.

Sustainability
16,831 tonnes of CO₂ avoided
Fenix RotoPowder is recycled polyethylene that would otherwise go to landfill. Moulding with it instead of virgin plastic saves about 1.6 kg of CO₂ for every kilogram used.
The CO₂ that 80,000 trees absorb growing for ten years, already saved by our powder.
Each tree shown stands for 1,000 trees
CO₂ avoided compared with virgin plastic
recycled plastic supplied to moulders
water tanks moulded in-house from our own powder
In 2026 so far: 519 t of recycled powder supplied and 831 t of CO₂ avoided. Updated weekly from our dispatch records, last on 28 October 2026.
