Project Background

 

 

Container Exchange manages the Queensland government’ s waste and recycling scheme. They are making sure that the 3 billion beverage bottles that our sunshine state produces don’t end up in the landfill.

We helped CoExchange identify, attract, recruit and onboard their team. This was an exciting start-up project.  Container Exchange has launched the most successful Container Recycling scheme ever. And we are proud to have supported them. 

 

About our client

Each year, nearly three billion drink containers are generated in Queensland. Empty drink containers are the state’s second-most littered item.

To address this, create jobs and support social enterprise, Container Exchange (COEX) was established in 2018 as a not-for-profit organisation to run Queensland’s Containers for Change scheme.

The scheme allows people to return empty eligible drink containers for a 10 cent refund at one of 270 sites statewide, reducing beverage container litter across the state and encouraging social enterprises to raise funds from donations of container refunds.

COEX is focused on increasing recycling and helping the community to benefit from donations to charities, community & sports groups and not-for-profit organisations registered with the scheme.
