Trace Recycled Content For More Circular Economy

Dept of Climate Change, Energy, Environment & Water

A series of video tutorials is now available to help Australian businesses trace recycled content in their supply chains.

Tracking recycled content helps organisations:

  • prove that materials are truly recycled
  • show where materials come from
  • build supply chain trust.

Alongside the seven videos, there is also a written guide. The guide explains each step in more detail and gives extra examples.

By using recycled content traceability, organisations support Australia’s move towards a circular economy. Australia aims to double circularity by 2035.

The tutorials follow the National Framework for Recycled Content Traceability. This voluntary framework:

  • gives practical advice on how to collect, share and check information about recycled materials
  • supports the National Waste Policy Action Plan, which aims to increase recycled content use by both government and industry.
