Rainwater tanks for water harvesting and storage are one of the wisest uses of energy and resources - and Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia makes tanks of all types, shapes and sizes! Jacques Rohen is the former owner of Bundaberg’s Complas Industries (now Nylex), the first company to make large rotational molded polyethelene rainwater storage tanks on the east coast of Australia. In this interview with Andi Hazelwood from SustainaBundy, Jacques discusses the benefits of harvesting and storing rainwater in tanks, the misconceptions, advantages and disadvantages of various types of tanks, as well as the embodied energy of poly tanks and their potential for being recycled. Jacques and Andi wrap up the interview with ideas on making the most of the water we harvest and some simple water conservation tips. Part 2 of 3. Learn more at www.sustainabundy.org
