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

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

Close the Loop are excited to share that we’ve been awarded #Bronze in the Health, Beauty & Wellness Packaging Design category at the 2024 Australasian Packaging Innovation & Design (PIDA) Awards! 🏆 While we're very-much about plastics and polymer circularity, #paperpackaging has a key place in an ever-increasing circular economy, while we aim to reduce unnecessary materials and increase renewable and recyclable content in packaging formats. Being able to create paper film packaging without PFAS or plastic coatings is the only way forward for fibre. This recognition reflects our team's dedication to creating innovative, sustainable packaging solutions for like-minded brands such as #Brocshot, and we're grateful to the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) for their continued commitment to highlighting innovation in Australasia.
