Close the Loop partners with schools, councils, retailers, and everyday Australians to turn sustainability into everyday action. From soft plastics to batteries, we deliver practical circular solutions that embed environmental responsibility into communities, turning participation into lasting impact.
We work hand in hand with local communities through strategically designed, locally tailored programs that combine:
All collected materials are sent to Close the Loop Group facilities for responsible recovery aligned to our zero waste to landfill model.

In collaboration with Woolworths, Coles, and ALDI, we launched an in-store collection at 10+ metro Melbourne locations. Soft plastics are processed into TonerPlas® and rFlex® at zero waste.

We distribute certified UL94 containers and offer nationwide pick-up services for businesses, schools, and retailers. The Envirostream system recovers over 95% of battery materials and ensures zero waste to landfill.

During National Recycling Week 2024, we partnered with Officeworks and Brother to host several e-waste collection days, collecting batteries, cartridges, and electronics from households.
Close the Loop supports Australian schools with a free Cartridges 4 Planet Ark recycling program, in partnership with Planet Ark since 2003. This initiative:
To date, over 50 million cartridges have been collected and kept out of landfill.

Through collaborations with global beauty brands, including MAC, Innisfree and L’Occitane, Close the Loop provides in-store drop-off at participating retailers. We’ve successfully recycled over 230 tonnes of cosmetic packaging including lipstick tubes, compacts, foundation bottles, aerosols and perfume containers.

We work closely with municipal councils to integrate soft-plastics drop-off points and support community-led collection programs. Through partnerships with organisations like Planet Ark, we help expand access to responsible recycling, ensuring materials are recovered and repurposed rather than sent to landfill.
As a leader in soft plastics recovery, we process post-consumer materials through our proprietary systems, upholding our zero-waste commitment and turning complex waste into valuable resources.
Our local engagement teams host workshops, speak at schools, and attend pop-up events, ensuring that community members gain hands-on exposure to recycling and circular innovation. They report back with tailored impact statements, reinforcing our commitment to meaningful action.
