Micro-recyclers excel at their craft—but struggle to keep up

The challenges of securing funding, scaling operations, and managing complex regulations can hold small-scale recyclers back—despite their crucial contribution to sustainability.

Limited funding & support

The Australian recycling industry contributes nearly $19 billion, yet small-scale operators struggle to access suitable funding opportunities.

Scarce industry visibility

Despite their vital role in environmental sustainability, micro recyclers often lack visibility and recognition in the industry.

Navigating complex regulations

The recycling sector in Australia faces a fragmented regulatory environment, deterring investment and making compliance challenging for recyclers.
