New initiative to boost container recycling in WA’s mining industry

  • New initiative to improve WA’s container recycling rates
  • CITIC Pacific Mining to partner with Sodexo Australia to provide 360 Containers for Change collection points at Eramurra mine site and village
  • Partnership expected to result in 2.7 million containers collected each year
  • More than 3.4 billion containers collected and $12 million donated through Containers for Changes since 2020

Container recycling rates in Western Australia are set to improve thanks to a new initiative that will lead to millions of beverage containers on mine sites being collected every year.

More than 3.4 billion containers have been collected and more than $12 million donated to charities, schools, and community groups every year under Containers for Change.

However, improving recycling rates in WA’s critically important mining sector remains a challenge, with about 50 million containers lost to landfill on mine sites every year.

In a major step towards diverting that waste from landfill, a new WARRRL-supported partnership between CITIC Pacific Mining and Sodexo Australia is set to bring Containers for Change to CITIC’s Eramurra village and mine site near Karratha.

Through the partnership, WARRRL will provide 360 Containers for Change collection points throughout Eramurra’s recreational areas, carparks, administration, and the site’s wet mess.

This is expected to result in 2.7 million containers collected each year, diverting more than 5 per cent of unrecycled containers from landfill.

Donations generated through container refunds are expected to contribute to CITIC Pacific Mining’s community fund, as well as support community initiatives in Karratha and the wider Pilbara region.

The partnership is the first of many set to be announced in the coming months, with WARRRL continuing to work with the mining industry to expand Containers for Change’s reach.
