Circular economy initiative supporting genuine Corex Corflute® products.
At Corex, we believe responsible manufacturing extends beyond the point of sale. That’s why we operate a Corflute Recycling Program designed to recover and recycle genuine Corex Corflute® products, helping divert valuable polypropylene from landfill and supporting Australia’s circular economy.
As both a manufacturer and recycler, Corex is uniquely positioned to collect, process and repurpose Corflute® into new products, including Corflute® eco, our recycled-content sheet range.
Whether you’re a business, printer, council, event organiser or government agency, we’re here to help create a more sustainable outcome for genuine Corflute® materials at the end of their useful life.
Corex is both a manufacturer and recycler of Corflute®, allowing us to create a circular recovery pathway for known polypropylene material streams.
Because genuine Corex Corflute® is manufactured in Australia to consistent specifications, it can be more effectively recovered, processed and reused in future manufacturing applications.
By specifying genuine Corex Corflute® from the outset, organisations gain access to a recycling pathway that supports landfill diversion, resource recovery and Australian manufacturing.
Corex remanufactures retired Corflute® into products such as Corflute® eco which is composed of up to 100% recycled content.
Corflute® is made from polypropylene, a durable and recyclable material that can be recovered and reprocessed into new products.
By participating in the Corex Corflute Recycling Program, you can:
What We Recycle
The Corex Corflute Recycling Program is designed specifically for genuine Corex Corflute® products.
Accepted materials may include:
Material Requirements
To maximise recycling outcomes, materials should be:
✓ Clean and dry
✓ Free from excessive contamination
✓ Separated from timber, metal and other non-polypropylene components
✓ Consolidated for collection or delivery
Learn more about Corflute® Recycling Preparation below.
Checking Corflute® for contaminants in the feed-stock is the first step in ensuring the quality of our recycled polymers. This includes lab testing and visual spot checks of the material before shredding which delivers the required size for further purification.
Shredded Corflute® is then passed through a sensitive metal detector on it’s way to the Cutter Compactor where it’s heated, densified and if required, mixed with additives to achieve the required specification. The next step is the heart of the purification process where the material enters a purpose built melt filtering extruder.
This state of the art filtration process insures that our polymers are on specification and fit for purpose. The now molten polymer is passed through fine mesh screens which eliminate pariculates such as paper and PET.
Polymer pellets are created in a water ring pelletiser, then undergo a centrifugal drying process on their way to the bagging station where regular sampling is carried out. These samples are lab tested to ensure the resin is on spec for Corex r-PP and other recycled products like Corflute® eco made with up to 100% recycled pellets.
The program is available to organisations using genuine Corex Corflute® products, including:
Whether you’re managing election signage, temporary event signage, retail displays or commercial Corflute® products, Corex can help create a responsible end-of-life solution.
Together, we can keep valuable polypropylene resources in use and out of landfill.

Priority given to companies that print on genuine Australian made Corflute® and PROMEG®.
Our Corflute® Recycling Program was designed to support Corex and Megara customers. When you purchase Corflute® or PROMEG® from us, you are eligible to become a Corflute Recycling Program Partner. Read More.
Our goal is to support people who choose genuine Australian made Corflute® manufactured and remanufactured endlessness within our circular economy.
Thank you. Warmest, Corex
After more than 25 years of recycling and reusing Corflute® that’s reached the end of its useful life, there are many questions that are frequently asked. Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions.
The program is designed to support genuine Corex Corflute® products. Material suitability may be assessed before acceptance.
Ask your printer, or the place you purchased your signs from, if they use genuine Corex Corflute®. If you’re unsure, contact our team and we can assist with identification.
Generally, there is no minimum quantity of Corflute that we can recycle, but there are commercial and sustainably practicalities depending on location, freight requirements and collection arrangements.
If you are a Corflute® Recycling Program partner, there is no fee to recycle your Corflute®. But there are costs associated based on location, collection requirements and material condition. Our team can discuss suitable options for your project.
Remember to specify genuine Australian-made Corex Corflute® at the start, and you’ll already have a recovery pathway at the end.
Yes. Corex works with councils and government organisations to explore recycling and recovery opportunities for genuine Corflute® materials.
Recovered polypropylene is processed and reused in future manufacturing applications, helping support a circular economy and reduce waste.
At Corex, we believe plastic can be of great benefit to our society, when managed responsibly. We are industry leaders in facilitating the truly sustainable existence of plastic in our world.
