Circular economy is a framework to use and manage materials required to meet the needs of society in such a way that does not deplete finite resources, retains value in closed-loop systems, and regenerates degraded ecological systems. The circular economy framework provides the following three guiding principles: eliminate waste and pollution, keep materials in use, and regenerate natural systems.

Battery World Maitland

At Battery World we have a tried and tested recycling program to ensure all used lead acid batteries are recycled properly.

Almost every car and truck has at least one Lead Acid or Sealed Lead (SLA) battery in it, and so do motorbikes and boats. 96% of these batteries can be recycled to make new batteries. Lead is one of the most recycled materials in the world and the main source of secondary lead is from lead acid battery recycling, with global recycling rates estimated at around 95%.

Chemist Warehouse Muswellbrook

Chemist Warehouse recycles blister packs at all stores in Australia through the Pharmacycle program. Millions of medication blister packs could be diverted from landfill through the recycling program.

Chemist Warehouse, a leading Australian pharmacy retailer, has made a significant stride in sustainable practices by partnering with Pharmacycle to launch a blister pack recycling initiative. This initiative, aimed at addressing the pressing issue of blister pack waste, marks a notable advancement in recycling efforts within Australia.

Chemist Warehouse provides customers at all Australian stores the opportunity to dispose of their empty blister packs sustainably. The pharmacy will facilitate this through branded recycling bins placed near the dispensary area, featuring both Chemist Warehouse and Pharmacycle logos.

Once collected from the pharmacy, blister packs are transported to one of Pharmacycle’s processing facilities, where the packaging requires specialised machinery to separate the materials before they can be recycled.

The aluminium is then sent to Weston Aluminium in the Hunter Valley in NSW, which reprocesses it to produce an aluminium de-oxidant product that aids in the steel making process.
