Recycle 4 Refugees!
What is Return and Earn?
‘Return and Earn’ is a New South Wales Government program offering a 10-cent refund for every eligible drink container deposited at designated return points. It’s the largest litter reduction initiative in NSW and as ideal way to fundraise for charities, like Philoi Global.
Join the Initiative!
Your school or church can partner with Recycle 4 Refugees by collecting and recycling your drink containers. Before you deposit the bottles into the depositor, make sure to choose ‘Philoi Global’ in your app and scan the barcode in the Return and Earn machine.
The proceeds from these efforts will support emergency relief for refugees facing extreme challenges like hunger and displacement.

Why This Matters
Millions of refugees live in extreme conditions, facing hunger and hardships daily. At the same time, plastic waste harms the planet and its ecosystems. By recycling, we address both issues: reducing environmental harm, and supporting those in desperate need.
