CurrentIQR Group is an Australian owned recycler operating and investing in “Intelligent Australian Recycling” processing solutions to make Australia a more circular economy from household to manufacturer. IQ Renew has joined forces with REDcycle (the nation’s largest collector of soft plastic) to fulfil the shared vision of two Australian pioneering organisations in resource recovery, by combining REDcycle’s network of partners and national drop off locations, with IQ Renew’s innovative material processing technology. This collaboration will help transform the community’s desire to divert recyclable materials from landfill, with the technology and infrastructure needed to deliver measurable outcomes.IQR’s Material Recovery Facility (MRF) processes recyclables north of Sydney in a regional recycling hub located on the NSW Central Coast, servicing more than a million Australians. IQR has utilised its market position to develop new supply chains between the community’s recyclables and innovative downstream manufacturing, eg: - Virtual Quarry converting recovered glass into clean engineered silica; and- Curby Program enhancing kerbside collection of soft plastics and other difficult to recycle material by integrating existing collection methods with downstream processing. - IQR Research & development Centre at Tuggerah on the NSW Central Coast, includes the commercial demonstration of the first SPEC facility (Soft Plastic Engineered Commodity) to enable full scale delivery of the Curby program and expansion of the Redcycle Program to provide offtake material to a range of manufacturers. The next stage of development will be to work with textiles. - Cat-HTR™ chemical recycling technology converting end-of-life plastic into fuels and chemicals;
