We believe there is a better way to recycle that positively impacts individuals, communities, and the environment.
Our mission is to increase recycling rates, rid the world of drink container litter, and empower community participation in an accredited circular economy.
We provide services and technology to enable the circular lifecycle of a drink container, from purchase to collection, through to recycling and remanufacturing. Our services include IT technology, payments, brand experience, customer support, and materials trading.
Container Exchange Services (CES) is a joint venture between Coca-Cola Europacific Partners and Lion that was established to provide scalable and sustainable solutions for Container Deposit Schemes (CDS) in Australia and around the World. We power one of Australia’s largest recycling programs: Containers for Change.
Containers for Change is a container deposit scheme, currently operating in QLD and WA, where people get 10c for each eligible drink container they return to refund points. Today, more than 4 billion containers have been recycled through the schemes and $400m has been returned to the public, community groups and charities. We support the schemes, further details of the change is here www.containersforchange.com.au
