Beverage Manufacturers

Beverage manufacturers play a vital role in Queensland’s container refund scheme.

Every eligible beverage container supplied into Queensland helps fund Containers for Change and supports the environmental, social and economic benefits delivered by the scheme.

Since the scheme launched in 2018, beverage manufacturer contributions have helped Queenslanders return billions of containers for recycling, supported community fundraising and created jobs across the state.

Whether you’re new to the scheme or already registered, this page will help you find the information and services you need.

Why beverage manufacturers matter

  • recover valuable materials such as aluminium, glass and PET plastic
  • reduce litter
  • support bottle-to-bottle recycling and other circular economy outcomes
  • create jobs throughout the container refund network
  • generate fundraising opportunities for charities, schools and community groups
