Featured Projects

Chemicals of Concern in the Recycling Stream
Project Brief:
The Federal Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment required a review of emerging issues for chemicals of concern entering recycled products and the impact upon circular economy initiatives.
Encycle Solution:
Within the policy context of Australia’s transition to a circular economy and increasing recycling, the potential impact of chemicals of concern remaining in the environment will increase.
Encycle carried out comparative analysis of emerging issues at the chemical-waste interface, analysed Australian standards and identified relevant approaches for Australia to manage chemicals of concern that may be entering the environment via the recycling stream.

Material Flow Analysis of Electronic Waste in WA
Project Brief:
Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (WA) required an evaluation of the volumes of electronic waste generated, proportion recycled and destinations for the material.
Encycle Solution:
Electronic waste generation data from a range of sources was collated and interrogated to develop a Material Flow Analysis of the Western Australia supply chain. Further work was carried out to calculate projections of electronic waste generation in Western Australia to 2040 to identify gaps in the available recycling and recovery systems.

Sustainability Victoria
Project Brief:
Develop detailed information sheets on products with recycled content for local councils, to overcome barriers to use.
Encycle Solution:
Research available products with significant recycled content that were not widely used, work with SV to produce an easy to read format, gather information from suppliers and produce information sheet content tailored to local council procurement, design and engineering teams.
