Officeworks - Circularity and waste

Officeworks is helping reduce the impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss. It supports the transition to a more circular economy, by implementing considerate design values, using regenerative materials and keeping products in use for longer through repair, reuse and recycling initiatives. 

including through our Bring it Back program, Moorup tech trade in initiative and Circonomy.

In 2024, Officeworks repaired and resold 235 tonnes of damaged items in partnership with Circonomy, up 391 per cent from 2023, diverting products in stores and distribution centres that would otherwise have gone to landfill.

Officeworks expanded its Bring it Back program to trial school stationery supplies in select locations, in partnership with Stationery Aid, which collected and repurposed 32 kilograms of stationery items for disadvantaged students.

Additionally, its Trade In initiative with Circularity partner, Moorup, extends the life of valuable technology devices, keeping 4,753 products in use for longer in 2024.

To date, Officeworks have repaired, repurposed or recycled 11,880 tonnes of unwanted products with an aim to achieve 15,000 tonnes, around 85-90% of our target by 2025.

Total operational waste to landfill increased by 0.7 per cent.
