Sustainability - It begins when we consider the entire lifecycle of the products we use
To us, sustainability is much more than just a catch-phrase or a label, it's about igniting systemic change from the ground up. The environmental impact of a product can only truly be understood when we take stock of its entire lifecycle, from production to where it ends up after we use it - and everything in between.
Our Products
What Happens After A Product Is Used?
This question is top of mind for us when it comes to every product in our range. Confoil actively works to promote recycling both internally and amongst our suppliers. We do this by sourcing and promoting product ranges and materials which minimise the environmental impact on production and distribution. Confoil are also proud signatories to the Australian Packaging Covenant and are committed to their evolving framework that aims for all packaging to be either recyclable, renewable, biodegradable or compostable by 2025.

Behind The Scenes
Scrap Metal Recovery
Our core range of products includes both wrinklewall and smoothwall foil trays which are 100% aluminium and are fully recyclable and renewable. Aluminium’s unique properties make it a perfect material for a great number of packaging requirements, while its ready recyclability makes it an excellent choice for the environment, diverting this packaging product from landfill or polluting our oceans. Because aluminium is pure in composition, it is extremely easy to recycle through kerbside recycling.
PPE Recycling
We have partnered with TerraCycle Australia to ensure that PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) such as ear-plugs, hair-nets and beard-nets used in our manufacturing facilities are recycled and diverted from ending up in landfill. TerraCycle is an innovative recycling company that has become a global leader in recycling hard-to-recycle waste.
