Our executive team are driven by our guiding principles:
Caring for our community
Our community is at the core of our success. We are committed to enabling all members of the community to participate by making use of our container deposit networks, and at the same time, creating opportunities to support local causes and fund community events.
Making it easy
We provide accessible return points for the community. Whether it’s one container or 1000, we take them all. With the diversity in network capabilities, we can meet the needs of our communities across metro and regional Australia.
Doing what we say
We’re committed to transparency and the delivery of a reliable container refund network through real-time data. Transparency in our operations sets us apart from our competitors.
