About us
Our vision is a future where waste is not a problem - but a valuable resource.
Exchange for Change (EfC) is a trusted partner working closely with government, industry and communities to deliver the NSW and ACT container deposit schemes and strong environmental, social and economic benefits for our communities.
EfC was established in 2017 as a joint venture between Asahi Holdings (Australia) Pty Ltd, Coca-Cola Amatil (Aust) Pty Ltd, Coopers Brewery Limited, CUB Pty Ltd and Lion Pty Ltd, who combined have years of experience in container deposit schemes around the world.
As the government-appointed scheme coordinator for the NSW and ACT container deposit schemes, we manage the financial operations of the schemes including collecting contributions from beverage suppliers and distributing funds to our network operators.
We develop and implement award-winning marketing and community education strategies that change behaviour while ensuring scheme integrity through audit and risk management.
Today, our schemes serve as examples of successful sustainable practices, contributing significantly to the circular economies of NSW and the ACT. In NSW alone, eight in 10 adults have participated in Return and Earn with billions of drink containers returned for recycling every year.
