Corex Celebrates 40 Years of Australian-Made Corflute®
As Victoria prepares for the 2026 state election, Corex is celebrating 40 years of homegrown manufacturing and encouraging campaign teams, candidates and printers to make a genuinely Australian choice.
Corflute® and election season go hand in hand. For four decades, Corex has manufactured the original Corflute® twin-wall polypropylene sheet in Melbourne’s south-east, supporting local jobs, Australian printers and customers across a wide range of industries.
This milestone is an opportunity to celebrate how far we have come, but it is also a reminder that where campaign signage comes from, and what happens to it afterwards, matters.
Why choosing genuine Corflute® matters
In a market filled with imported alternatives, genuine Corex Corflute® offers something different.
Corex created Corflute®, holds the registered trademark and stands behind every sheet we manufacture. Choosing genuine Australian-made Corflute® supports skilled Victorian manufacturing and provides greater confidence in local supply during the busy election period.
Importantly, it also gives eligible signage a pathway back to Corex once the campaign is over.
A life beyond election day
Temporary campaign signs may have a short public life, but the polypropylene material still has value.
Through the Corex Corflute® Recycling Program, eligible genuine Corex signage can be collected, processed and returned to future manufacturing applications. Recovered polypropylene can be reused in new products, including Corflute® eco sheet made with up to 100% recycled content.
Our recycling stream is designed specifically for products manufactured by Corex. We cannot verify the composition of imported imitation sheet, which means it may not be suitable for our recovery process.
That is why the best recycling outcome begins before the signs are printed. By specifying genuine Australian-made Corex Corflute® from the outset, campaign teams and printers can plan for a responsible end-of-life pathway from day one.
“Corflute® is part of every election, and we’d love to see Victorian campaigns backing a product that is made by Victorians, for Victorians. We are proud to recover and remake our own product, but we can only recycle what we make. When a sign turns up after polling day that was imported from overseas, there is nothing we can do with it.
Choose genuine Corex Corflute® from the start, and we will make sure it has a life beyond election day.”
Simon Whiteley, CEO, Corex
