What is Recycled Corflute? Introducing Corflute®eco

Introducing Corflute®eco

Up to 100% recycled content. Same performance. Designed for a circular future.

If you’ve already read our guide on What is Corflute?, you’ll know why it’s one of Australia’s most widely used materials for signage, packaging, and material protection.

But today, the conversation has evolved. It’s no longer just about performance or print quality. It’s about where materials come from and where they go next.

Thanks to recent advancements at Corex Recycling in partnership with Corex Plastic Lab, that story has taken a major step forward. Previously made with up to 50% recycled content, Corflute®eco can now be manufactured with up to 100% recycled content, using post-consumer and post-industrial polypropylene waste without compromising performance.

That’s where Corflute®eco stands apart.

What is Recycled Corflute?

Recycled Corflute® is fluted polypropylene sheet made using post-consumer and post-industrial recycled material, engineered to deliver the same performance as standard Corflute® while significantly reducing environmental impact.

At Corex, this takes shape as Corflute®eco.

It has been carefully developed to achieve the ideal balance between:

  • Sustainability
  • Consistency
  • Performance

So you don’t have to compromise one for the other.

How Corflute®eco is Made?

The Closed Loop in Action

Corflute®eco isn’t just a product with recycled content, it’s part of a closed-loop manufacturing system.

At our in-house recycling facility:

  1. Used Corflute® sheets and polypropylene waste are collected
  2. Materials are processed, refined, and re-engineered
  3. They are reintroduced (remanufactured) into production as new Corflute®eco sheets

This means:

  • Materials are kept in circulation, not discarded
  • Waste is designed out of the system
  • Products are created with their next life already in mind

Both Corflute® and Corflute®eco can be recycled again and again through Corex Recycling, supporting a truly circular material flow.

From Waste to Resource

The Role of Recycled Polypropylene (r-PP)

At the heart of Corflute®eco is something much bigger than a single product, but rather it is a material philosophy.

Corex actively uses recycled polypropylene (r-PP) as a primary feedstock, transforming waste streams that would otherwise be destined for landfill into high-value raw material.

Rather than relying on virgin plastic, we:

  • Recover polypropylene from post-consumer and industrial sources
  • Process it through our advanced recycling systems
  • Convert it into high-quality r-PP pellets
  • Reintroduce it into manufacturing including Corflute®eco

This approach allows us to close the loop at a material level, not just at the product level.

Why r-PP is Integral to Corflute®eco

Using recycled polypropylene as a feed source:

  • Reduces reliance on virgin fossil-based materials
  • Diverts valuable resources away from landfill
  • Retains the embedded energy and value within materials
  • Strengthens local, circular supply chains

It also gives Corex greater control over quality and consistency, proving that sustainability and performance can, and should, coexist.

Designed for Continuous Reuse

Our r-PP system isn’t linear – It’s regenerative. Materials used in Corflute®eco can be:

  • Collected after use
  • Reprocessed into new raw material
  • Returned into production again

This creates a continuous reuse cycle, where products are not just recyclable in theory, but actively recycled in practice. Because the goal isn’t just to recycle more, it’s to waste less in the first place.

Where Can You Use Recycled Corflute®?

Corflute®eco is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

With UV protection for outdoor use and corona treatment for print adhesion, it’s built for real-world performance.

Designed for a Circular Future

Sustainability isn’t just about using recycled content. Sustainability is about rethinking how materials flow through the system because the goal isn’t just to use recycled materials, but rather to design systems where materials never become waste.

Corflute®eco represents a shift toward:

  • Designing products for reuse and recovery
  • Keeping materials in continuous circulation
  • Reducing waste at every stage of the lifecycle

At Corex, recycling isn’t an add-on. It’s embedded in how we design, manufacture, and take responsibility for our products.
