Welcome to E-Cycle Solutions
Our Approach
Our approach to waste management is to work closely with our electrical retail appliance industry partners to provide innovative solutions to industry-wide problems associated with collecting and disposing of waste materials.
Solutions
E-Cycle Solutions has developed an innovative method for collecting end of life televisions (TVs) from electrical appliance retailers, then recycling the TVs, so that liable parties can meet their obligations under the Product Stewardship Scheme.
We Provide
We provide a range of drop-off locations including selected electrical appliance retailers and recycling partners for householders and small businesses to deposit their old TVs.
About Us
E-Cycle Solutions Pty Ltd provides a Co-regulatory Arrangement for liable parties within the Product Stewardship Scheme. E-Cycle Solutions is part of the QLS Group, a nation-wide provider of logistics to the electrical retail appliance industry. QLS Group warehouses white goods (for example refrigerators, dish washers and washing machines) and brown goods (including computers, small appliances and TVs), then delivers them to electrical retail appliance stores across Australia.
QLS Group’s warehouse facilities in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth provide 62,000m3 of warehouse space and our 80 company owned trucks plus contractors’ vehicles delivered 60,000 tonnes of freight during 2011.
Collecting waste is a natural fit for E-Cycle Solutions and QLS Group as our drivers are regularly visiting electrical retail appliance stores and have available space in our trucks on in-bound trips to carry old TVs, cardboard, polystyrene and plastic. For an organisation such as ours that delivers white goods and brown goods, it makes sense for us to pick up waste and deliver it to our recycling partners for environmentally responsible recycling.
