rFlex® is a recycled plastic material developed by Close the Loop (CtL) which can be supplied to manufacturers of plastic items such as pallets, crates, trolleys, baskets and tubs. Any plastic products that are injection, rotational or extrusion moulded can utilise rFlex®.
Close the Loop work to tailor rFlex® to adhere to specific manufacturer requirements, in order to gain equal performance compared to the virgin plastic it replaces.
Close the Loop manufacturers rFlex® as a part of their Zero Waste to Landfill Brand Promise- none of the conforming items that Close the Loop accept through any of their collection programs (including cartridge recycling , cosmetics recycling, and soft plastics recycling) are sent to landfill.
rFlex® is made from predominantly soft plastic packaging, sourced from a mix of post- consumer and pre-consumer soft plastics. Packaging films, pouches, bags, shrink wrap, and even bubble wrap can be used to make rFlex®, which is supplied to end users in pellet form in bags of 700kg or 1000kg.rFlex® is formulated from a blend of:
This mix enables rFlex® to replace virgin plastics in demanding real-world applications, building strength and consistency from materials that would otherwise go to landfill.

“The only way we’ll build resilient supply chains is for everyone from consumers, brands, transport, manufacturers and industry to put aside our bias toward recycled plastics and understand that if we want to reach global greenhouse emissions targets or National Waste Policy targets, we need to replace virgin plastic with recycled plastic as a priority.”

rFlex® is more than just recycled plastic, it’s a breakthrough in transforming hard-to-recycle waste into high-performance, versatile materials.

rFlex® is made from soft plastics that typically have no end-of-life solution, including mixed post-consumer and post-industrial films, bags, shrink wrap, and other flexible materials. These plastics are often contaminated with:
rFlex® gives these “unwanted” materials a second life, diverting them from landfill and turning them into valuable, usable plastic resin.
Close the Loop has developed and perfected a proprietary recycling process that:

Close the Loop collaborated with Coles and ISP in Melbourne to create a fleet of Supercart shopping trolleys using 20% rFlex®. These trolleys are featured in a number of Coles stores as part of their Together to Zero sustainability initiative.
