Toward a Resourceful Future.  Connect with us.

Australian Council of Recycling

Established in 1983, the Australian Council of Recycling (ACOR) is the leading national industry association for the recycling and resource recovery sector in Australia. It represents some 50 businesses who are part of a successful $15 billion industry that employs some 50,000 Australians, and generates exceptional environmental benefits for our society.

"Toward a Resourceful Future"

ACOR’s members uniquely span the breadth and depth of Australian recycling, working towards a resourceful future. 
​
This includes businesses working:
  • to collect, sort and remanufacture recyclate into new products;
  • to beneficially manage materials from the residential, commercial, industrial, and major infrastructure areas, and;
  • with materials ranging from household packaging to tyres to container deposit scheme products to road construction material to batteries to e-waste and more.​​

ACOR has long worked with businesses, community partners, stakeholders and governments to further develop a world-leading and domestically sustainable recycling system in Australia. ​As demonstrated by our 10 Point Plan, our core work includes:
  • ​contributing to decision-making for optimal recycling  in a circular economy;
  • promoting standards and innovation for recycling business’ advantage and for societal benefit;
  • driving demand for recycled content products and recycling services, and;
  • managing sovereign risks for our members. 
The recycling and resource recovery sector is massively innovative, enterprising and results-driven. ​In line with that industry ethic, and to complement its public policy and advocacy work, ACOR uniquely undertakes practical projects, especially those aimed at reducing contamination in recycling and building better markets for recyclate.
