European Circular Planet Event Circularity in the print consumable space can only be achieved through partnerships. Close the Loop would like to thank everyone who joined us last week in Belgium and highlighted our shared commitment to sustainability and circularity in the print industry. A special thank you to our participating Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partners— BROTHER INDUSTRIES (U.K.) LTD. FUJIFILM Corporation, HP, KONICA MINOLTA, INC. Minolta, Lexmark, Oki, Printronix, Ricoh, Toshiba, and Xerox—whose presence and continued support are integral to the success of the Circular Planet initiative in Europe. Your dedication drives the program forward, and we are grateful for your partnership. Those in attendance had the opportunity to hear invaluable insights from our guest speakers, who shared key legislative developments that are creating change in this space, including the WEEE Directive, Ecodesign, Digital Product Passports, and the Basel II Amendment. Their expertise reaffirms the importance of collaboration as we address these regulatory changes together. To others in attendance, we sincerely appreciate your presence and look forward to future collaboration with Close the Loop, further expanding the innovative solutions we bring to the print industry and to the planet.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the People and Planet Recycling Pop-Up Day at Officeworks Highett this month. With the valued support of our partners, Officeworks and Brother International Australia, we successfully collected a significant volume of used household batteries, cartridges, and tech products, ensuring they will be recycled responsibly. This initiative highlights our shared commitment to reducing environmental impact and promoting a more sustainable future. We look forward to future opportunities to continue driving meaningful change together. #collaboration #future #innovation #environment #sustainability #recycling #recyclingAu #takeback #repurpose #recover #resourcerecovery #recyclingsolutions #recyclingindustry #solutions #Australia #Ausindustry #community #stewardship #circularity #circulareconomy #ClosetheLoop #circulareconomy #circularcontracts #printercartridgerecycling #recyclingpopupday

We are proud to share that #TonerPlas, our recycled asphalt improvement additive, has been used in the construction of the new carpark at Coles Group in Traralgon Village Shopping Centre, Victoria. This innovative product, made from recycled toner powder and soft plastics, has helped divert approximately 350,000 pieces of plastic from landfill, contributing to a more sustainable future. By incorporating waste materials into infrastructure projects like this, we're advancing the transition to a circular economy—reducing waste, reusing materials, and closing the loop on sustainability. #future #innovation #sustainability #recyclable #flexiblepackaging #recyclingAu #recyclablepackaging #packaging #packagingdesign #packagingsolutions #flexiblepackagingindustry #Ausindustry #Australia #solutions #community #circularity #circulareconomy #ClosetheLoop #tonerplas #innovativeasphalt #softplasticrecycling #coles

Did You Know? Your old print cartridges can do more than just take up space in a landfill? At Close the Loop, we’re doing more than collecting and sorting consumable cartridges—we’re refurbishing and sending them back to manufacturers for refill. And for those that can’t be reused, we transform them into something extraordinary: TonerPlas®, an innovative material that strengthens the roads we drive on.

IT Asset Disposition (#ITAD) is the refurbishment and/or recycling of electronics, and is a key part of our Renewed Solutions focus at Close the Loop. We’re collaborating with large Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) such as HP to create secondary markets for used laptops, computers, printers and more, that provides positive benefits to people and planet alike; products are kept in-use and consumers have more affordable refurbished options to purchase. HP were recently presented with the OEM Circular Innovation Award as part of the 2024 ITAD Summit in the US, highlighting the strength of our collaboration for driving change and keeping products in-use for longer. #ITADSummit2024 #Sustainability #Innovation #circulareconomy #renewedsolutions #closetheloop #refurbishment #reuse #recycle
