Corflute® Recycling Program

Give Your Genuine Corflute® a Second Life

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.

After more than 25 years of recycling and reusing Corflute® that’s reached the end of its useful life, 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.

Why Genuine Corex Corflute®?

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.

What We Recycle & How

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.

Corflute® Recycling Preparation

How we recycle Corflute® for reuse within our circular economy.

Step one

Detect and shred

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.

Step two

Heat and melt

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.

Step three

Filtering

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.

Step four

Extruding, cutting & cooling

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.

Who Can Participate?

The program is available to organisations using genuine Corex Corflute® products, including:

  • Commercial printers
  • Signage companies
  • Councils and local government
  • State government departments
  • Political parties and election organisers
  • Retail businesses
  • Construction companies
  • Event organisers
  • Manufacturing and industrial businesses
Council & Government Recycling Partnerships

FAQ’s
Corflute® Recycling Program

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.

Corflute® Recycling Program
  • Can all Corflute signs be recycled through this program?

    The program is designed to support genuine Corex Corflute® products. Material suitability may be assessed before acceptance.

  • How do I know if my material is genuine Corex Corflute®?

    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.

  • Is there a minimum quantity?

    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.

  • Is the Corflute Recycling Program free?

    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.

  • Can councils participate in the Corflute® Recycling Program?

    Yes. Corex works with councils and government organisations to explore recycling and recovery opportunities for genuine Corflute® materials.

  • What happens to the recycled material?

    Recovered polypropylene is processed and reused in future manufacturing applications, helping support a circular economy and reduce waste.

  • Can Corflute® go in a kerbside recycling bin?

    Corflute® is made from polypropylene (Plastic Identification Code #5), which is a recyclable material. However, it is not generally accepted through Australian council kerbside recycling programs.

    Kerbside recycling systems are designed to process common household packaging such as bottles, containers and food packaging. Large-format polypropylene sheet products like Corflute® are outside the scope of most council recycling programs and may be rejected during the sorting process.

    To help ensure your Corflute® is recycled into new products, it should be returned to a specialist polypropylene recycler such as Corex Recycling through our Corflute® Recycling Program.
