Founded in Melbourne, Australia with a vision of zero waste to landfill.
Cartridges 4 Planet Ark program launches, creating Australia’s first national printer cartridge recycling network.
Over 50 million cartridges collected to date, all diverted from landfill.
Expanded into the United States, building international collection and recycling networks.
Acquired ClozDLoop BVBA (Belgium), strengthening Close the Loop’s European recycling footprint.
Close the Loop Ltd (ASX: CLG) formed through a merger with O F Packaging, uniting resource recovery and packaging innovation under one ASX-listed entity.
Integration of packaging and recycling operations under the unified Close the Loop Group, expanding circular solutions across Australia, USA, and Europe.
Expanded North American footprint through the acquisition of In-Plas Recycling (US).
Acquired and integrated ISP Tek Services in US
Launched an expanded Melbourne soft-plastics processing line with ~5× capacity (up to 1 tonne/hour), producing TonerPlas® and rFlex® at greater scale.
IMMEX-approved facility in Mexicali, Mexico begins operations, supporting IT asset disposition, refurbishment, and soft-plastics recovery across North America.
Today, Close the Loop is operating across Australia, the Americas, and EMEA, servicing global brands with end-to-end circular solutions.
At Close the Loop, we began with recycling, but we didn’t stop there.
Our mission to recover and recycle consumables has evolved into a global circular economy model. Instead of simply managing waste, we now design systems where materials are never considered waste in the first place.

We don’t just think about collecting and processing waste, we work across supply chains to design products with circularity built in from day one.
Materials like toner, soft plastics, and packaging are no longer discarded, they’re reimagined as valuable inputs for infrastructure, logistics, and manufacturing.
Our facilities are more than sorting centres, they’re hubs of innovation, producing engineered materials like TonerPlas® and rFlex® that outperform virgin alternatives.
This journey from traditional recycling to circularity reflects our belief that environmental responsibility is not just about reducing harm, it's about creating endless cycles of value.
Close the Loop is now a global leader in circular design, closed-loop supply chains, and scalable material recovery, proving that sustainability and innovation go hand in hand.
