1. QLS Group Overview
Ecycle Solutions is a member of the QLS Group, a national warehousing, logistics and
distribution business specialising in providing secure and reliable warehousing solutions for
bulky white and brown goods. The business has experienced consistent growth from 2009 to
2013 by providing competitively priced solutions for its customers.
A unique feature of QLS’ system is regular visits to retail stores by QLS sales team/agents to
seek feedback on delivery performance. QLS employs over 100 people nationally and the
four state based warehouses in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth provide 58,800 m2
of storage space. In FY2013 QLS delivered approx. 50,000 tonnes of freight via its modern
fleet of 70 company owned vehicles including B double line haul vehicles and team of subcontractors.
2. Ecycle Solutions Overview
A new and innovative method of collecting and recycling e-waste is provided by Ecycle
Solutions as a co-regulatory arrangement within the Australian government’s National
Television and Computer Recycling Scheme.
Ecycle Solutions provides the general public with a recycling solution for their end-of-life
televisions and computers (e-waste) via a free drop-off service at participating retail stores
including Harvey Norman, The Good Guys, Radio Rentals, RT Edwards, Bing Lee, Betta
Home Living and Bi-Rite. At the heart of Ecycle Solution’s system is QLS’ national transport
capability regularly visiting metropolitan, regional, and country retail stores throughout
Australia. As QLS drivers deliver white and brown goods to retail stores they collect purpose
built e-waste bins full of televisions and computers which are then recycled.
Ecycle Solutions also offers retail stores a collection and recycling service for white and
brown goods packaging materials including plastic, cardboard and EPS (polystyrene) thereby
increasing recycling within the industry’s supply chain.

6. Recycling
Recycling Activities
End-of-life televisions and computers (e-waste) were collected by Ecycle Solutions via its
unique retail store collection, collection events and other collection activities during FY2013.
E-waste was then processed by recyclers involving disassembly/breaking down of all e-waste
and sorting of component parts into four main groups:




Plastic
Metal
Lead glass/Non-lead glass
Other
Materials recovered continued within domestic and international supply chains to be
manufactured into other products. Our recyclers have exported materials for manufacturing to
Hong Kong, Japan and Korea. No whole units were exported. Materials not recovered were
sent to landfill.
Recycling Outcomes
Ecycle Solutions complied with all National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme
regulations during FY2013. Ecycle Solutions collected and recycled 2,019,352 kg of
televisions thereby exceeding the target weight of 1,618,000 kg for televisions as determined
by the Australian Government. A further 335,716 kg of computers was collected and recycled
even though there was no target for recycling computers for Ecycle Solutions during FY2013.
The amount of computers and the surplus televisions of 401,352 kg will be carried forward
into the combined television and computer product stream for FY2014.
Recycling by weight (kg) provided by service providers.
