Welcome To The Australian Council Of Recycling

The Australian Council of Recycling (ACOR) is the national peak industry association for businesses in the recycling industry of Australia. ACOR seeks to support governments and the Australian community in helping Australia make the transition from an inefficient and wasteful (linear) economic system – where products and materials are disposed of at the end of their productive life – to a highly efficient, sustainable (closed-loop) materials economy.

Our core business is to work closely with governments to lobby and advise them on the practical implications of policy and regulation needed to grow all aspects of the recycling industry. This industry growth will deliver the business infrastructure necessary to achieve major improvements in the recovery and reapplication of products and resources into Australia’s productive economy.

ACOR’s overarching role is to advocate for improved levels of resource efficiency at a national and state level and represent all businesses in the value chain of resource recovery and recycling, including:
1) Manufacturers who design their products for recycling.
2) Re-processors who process recovered materials for reuse.
3) Manufacturers using recycled materials. .
