As 2025 comes to a close, we want to thank our partners, customers and community for standing with us to create positive environmental and social impact.
This year we, along with co-located Electronic Recycling Australia, continued to demonstrate what is possible when a circular economy model puts both environmental and social outcomes first.
💚 Social impact in 2025
Together, we supported 75 jobs, including 50 roles for people with disability, delivering 109,470 hours of meaningful employment across our recycling operations. These roles create opportunity, build skills and support inclusive workplaces where everyone can contribute.
♻️ Environmental impact in 2025
- 3.6 million kg of e-waste diverted from landfill;
- 64.26 million kg of CO₂ emissions prevented;
- Valuable materials recovered and returned to use, including glass, cardboard, plastics and gas; - We recycled 23,000 mattresses, achieving up to 90% material recovery and preventing toxic materials from entering landfill.
🔁 Extending the life of electronics
Keeping products in use is central to our circular approach:
• 2,400+ electronic items refurbished and sold, including calculators, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, monitors and components;
• 400+ refurbished items donated to Backpacks 4 SA Kids INC., supporting children and families with access to essential technology.
🎓 Education and community engagement
In 2025, our Ottoway recycling hub became a place of learning and connection:
• 68 recycling hub tours delivered to 1,456 students and 208 teachers, and 189 people from community and business groups;
• Delivered a hands-on e-waste education project with Green Industries SA, Greenwith Primary School and Norwood Primary School, engaging 120 project teams and 340 students;
• Hosted 7 Saturday recycling drop-off days, combining community recycling with refurbished e-waste sales.
None of this would be possible without the support of the South Australian community. Every item recycled, every partnership formed and every choice to work with us has helped create a more inclusive economy and a more sustainable future.
Thank you for being part of the impact in 2025. We look forward to what we can achieve together in 2026.
