Resource Recovery (Recycling)
At Corex Plastics we actively exploit the ability of products made from thermoplastic to be reprocessed at the end of their life into another useful product. We have our own internal shredding, granulating & polymer reprocessing facility and partner with key polymer re-processors to gain continuity of supply with quality and commercially effective reclaimed polymer.
Re-processing thermoplastics makes good commercial sense, community sense and environmental sense for Corex Plastics. In fact effective management of thermoplastic reclaim is very much the way we operate.
Environment & sustainability
We acknowledge that much of our manufacturing inputs come from non-renewable sources and our product, process design and strategic direction aim to continuously improve the efficiency of how we use these resources. This includes considering materials selected for extrusion & fabrication, their ability to be recovered into future products (ideally with Corex) and the future availability of the resource in addition to how we can help make a positive impact for our clients.
The growing bio-polymers & bio-degradable polymer segment are on our radar screen and are an area we expect to be operating in over the coming years.
Operationally we have ongoing programs and projects to reduce energy, packaging, freight, emissions and waste we use or produce. Besides being better for our staff and the community this makes good business sense.
Staff at Corex Plastics engage with many sustainability advocates & stakeholders to gain knowledge and provide better outcomes for our business and the community through undertaking focussed and results based initiatives.

Corex's involvement with Mini-Fields of Women.
Corex Plastics is proud to be involved with Breast Cancer Network Australia events such as Mini-Field of Women. This wonderful event is held all around Australia in October each year. They centre around a visual display of 100 Pink Lady Silhouettes, made out of Corflute and printed by Corex, planted in the ground or on display, and often include a simple ceremony. Personal messages are displayed on the silhouettes by family and friends to pay tribute to women affected by breast cancer and their families.
