About

Envirobank not only delivers auditable and significant recycling outcomes, it uses incentives and rewards to the community for participating.

In addition, the material recovered is considered a valuable resource and has significant environmental benefits.

These include the conservation of virgin and finite resources, generation of new green job opportunities, savings in water and energy, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and pollution, all of which more effectively meet the needs and aspirations of Australian communities.

Today’s waste management decisions leave a legacy for future generation Envirobank utilises  reverse vending machines  (RVM) that are  designed to provide a closed loop recycling solution. This means that a container accepted into an Envirobank will find its way back into a consumer’s hand as another product.

The Envirobank’s scanning and sorting intelligence gives it the ability to sort recyclables and reject
unsuitable containers, keeping the recyclable waste stream free from contamination and
out of landfill.

Using one of our network of Envirobank RVMs ensures that a container deposited is a container recycled.
