Corporate Partnerships
Partner with Boxhead Plastics
Boxhead Plastics collects and processes rigid plastic for use by Australian manufacturers. The same operation creates paid employment for women who have been through the justice system.
Corporate partners can help us strengthen this work, increase our recycling capacity or explore practical circular-plastics projects.
If that connects with your organisation’s sustainability, social procurement or community investment goals, let’s talk about what might be possible.
Recycling plastic and creating paid work
Boxhead began with one difficult waste stream: plastic car bumper bars.
We collect prepared bumper bars from smash repair workshops across Greater Sydney and the Central Coast. The plastic is checked, sorted and processed into feedstock for Australian manufacturers.
The sorting and processing work also creates paid shifts and practical work experience for women who have been through the justice system.
| Collected 90,760 bumper bars | Kept 212 tonnes of rigid plastic out of landfill |
| Delivered 3,210 paid work hours in 2025 | Operated its employment program five days a week |
What a partnership can support
Boxhead is open to partnerships that extend the paid employment program, build collection and processing capacity, or address defined circular-plastics opportunities. The right structure depends on your goals, available capacity, and location.
Extend the employment program
Funding can help Boxhead provide more paid shifts, work experience and employment support for women who have been through the justice system.
Build our recycling capacity
Equipment, operational funding or practical assistance may help us collect and process more rigid plastic when capacity allows.
Contribute professional expertise
Pro bono legal, financial, logistics, technology or professional support can strengthen the organisation when it matches a current need.
Explore a circular-plastics supply chain opportunity
If your organisation generates rigid plastic waste or uses recycled plastic in manufacturing, we can assess a defined collection, processing or supply opportunity.
We assess these projects individually based on the material, volume, location, and available capacity.
The employment and environmental outcomes are connected
We are focused solely on collecting, sorting, and processing rigid plastic to create jobs. The recycled material is then used in Australian manufacturing rather than sending it to landfill.
In the last year, the employment program operated five days a week and delivered 3,210 paid work hours. Those hours are part of the sorting and processing operation.

Meet the Founder
Boxhead founder Rebecca Healy leads the organisation’s work in plastic recycling and social employment.
Rebecca established Boxhead Plastics in 2020 after identifying a gap between rigid plastic waste recovery and meaningful employment pathways for women returning to the workforce after the justice system.
Her work has been recognised across industry and community sectors.

We’ll consider whether it matches a current need, what Boxhead can reasonably deliver and what each organisation would be responsible for. We can then document any agreed scope, measures, and reporting arrangements before the work begins.
