Corflute® & corflute election signs
Background and position
Corex is committed to recycling genuine Corflute® products that have reached the end of their lives. That’s our offer to our customers and our commitment to working in a true circular economy.
When we have capacity and material requirements, we are happy to take in other materials even if they come from other origins. However, due to the mass imbalance in recycling of overseas purchased materials, we have had to make a change to our Corflute Recycling program which is at the heart of Corex. Read more.
Our goal has always been to help everyone with their recycling, but unfortunately, we are unable to recycle materials that we simply do not have a reuse for at Corex. Therefore, currently we prioritising genuine Corflute®, made in Australia by Corex.
It’s important to note that the term ‘corflute’ and ‘corflutes’ is used broadly to describe campaign signage, placards etc., but a large amount of these ‘corflutes’ are actually produced on materials that do not originate from Corex or Australia for that matter!
The generic unbranded product can be described as twin-wall polypropylene sheet (or corrugated plastic sheet). A growing amount of twin-wall polypropylene sheet is imported from Southeast Asian countries. Corex developed the trademark Corflute®, and imitators have jumped on board.
Corex’s focus is on supporting socially and environmentally responsible consumers who care about doing the right thing; specifying genuine Australian made Corflute®, that is recycled and recyclable with zero waste.

Preparing for recycling
So that we can recycle your used election signs, we need you to check for contaminants and remove them. It’s easier than you think! Here are the steps to check for and remove contaminants.
Checking for contaminants
Your Corflute® election sign may have no contaminants. If your graphics have been printed directly to the Corflute® and there are no eyelets, you probably have a contaminant free sign.
Often, election signage doesn’t need protective PVC film over the surface or eyelets to protect the holes that allow it to be secured to a fence. People tend to use these extra elements when a sign is being used for longer than 6 months.
Please remove the below contaminants
- Eyelets around the holes – plastic and metal
- PVC protective film – if your Corflute® sign is super shiny and you can pick a layer of plastic from a corner, this is PVC
- PVC pockets
- Paper
- Adhesive tapes, glues, cable ties
- Wood – like in garden stakes that may support the sign
