  • Be part of increasing the recycling of beverage containers across Queensland.
  • Inspire generational change through recycling and circular economy education.
  • Join a forward-thinking Board advancing environmental and social goals.

Container Exchange (QLD) Limited (COEX) is seeking a number of experienced Non-Executive Directors to join the Board. Due to a recent Board Chair recruitment and the completion of appointment terms, the Board seeks to complement the existing Board by appointing Directors who can represent the interests of the community and beverage manufacturing industry. Suitable candidates will bring environmental, recycling, circular economy, financial and/or legal qualifications and experience to the Board.
 
About COEX:
COEX is the product responsibility organisation appointed by the Queensland Government to oversee the container deposit scheme in Queensland known as Containers for Change. The scheme was introduced on 1 November 2018 and focuses on increasing recycling outcomes, reducing beverage container litter and delivering positive social impact to Queenslanders by exchanging eligible drink containers for a 10 cent refund.
  
The scheme operates under the legislative framework of the Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011 (Qld) and is funded by the beverage manufacturing industry through a product stewardship model. COEX reports to the Minister for Environment and the Great Barrier Reef and Minister for Science and Youth Affairs on its strategic plan, operations and achievements.
  
About The COEX Board:
The COEX Board is comprised of Nine Non-Executive Directors with a mix of independent and member representatives from beverage manufacturing, finance, legal and community sectors. The Board and Board Committees meet regularly either in person or via video, and each Non-Executive Director will be a member of one of the Board Committees. The time expectation for the role is 10 hours a month.
