An experienced team delivering a scheme for all Tasmanians.
As the appointed Scheme Coordinator for Recycle Rewards, we’re working with the Tasmanian Government and partners to reduce Tasmania’s litter of drink containers by up to half, create new economic opportunities, generate new jobs and turn drink containers into new recycled products.
Our partners contribute to the success of the scheme
We work with businesses supplying beverages in eligible containers – whether manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers or retailers – to participate in the scheme. The role of suppliers within Recycle Rewards is to fund the scheme operations.
TOMRA Cleanaway Tasmania has been appointed as the Network Operator and they will:
- Establish and maintain a network of refund points
- Distribute refund amounts to consumers
- Distribute payments to refund point operators.
Some businesses buy eligible containers within Tasmania and supply the containers to another business outside of the state. These businesses are treated as Exporters within the Container Refund Scheme. Exporters can claim a rebate for these containers.
Material Recovery Facility (MRF) operators registered within the scheme claim processing refunds for eligible containers collected through kerbside recycling bins across the state.
We are proud to provide the opportunity for local charities and community groups to fundraise through Recycle Rewards, helping to change our state for the better.
Tasmanians use more than 270 million drink containers every year.
Recycle Rewards is a key initiative of the Tasmanian Government to reduce litter and increase recycling and will support the development of our circular economy.
Recycle Rewards is a Tasmanian Government initiative funded by contributions from the beverage industry.
When the scheme starts, people will receive a 10-cent refund for returning eligible drink containers to designated refund points around the state, which will significantly reduce litter and increase recycling rates.
