One of the biggest culprits to end up in landfill are plastic water bottles. Thankfully, more and more consumers are jumping on the more sustainable bandwagon and choosing on-tap chilled, filtered and sparkling water systems like Crystella. But still, Australians are going through CO2 cylinders at an impressive rate, and ReCylinder exists to solve this growing issue.

The unique ReCylinder solution diverts tens of thousands of CO2 cylinders per year away from landfill. Every individual cylinder – or pair of cylinders – must be transported safely. Because the contents are under pressure inside the cylinders, they can’t be sent via air transport due to risk of explosion at altitude. ReCylinder only uses freight carriers that carry an Australian Dangerous Goods license, whether new ones are being sent to customers or spent ones are being collected for recycling. Sadly, this can’t be said for cylinders transported in Australia by others who are less diligent.

Recycling steel sparkling water cylinders is an expensive but noble pursuit. It’s certainly cheaper to dump them in landfill but it means missing a valuable opportunity to return that steel into the recycling life cycle. The steel recovered from spent CO2 cylinders can then be transformed into countless other steel items. And it’s also good to know that recycling steel uses 75 percent less energy than manufacturing steel out of raw materials.

We’re so determined to reduce the negative impact on the environment that we deliver for free and collect for free, without any cost passed on to the customer. We also supply the recycled cardboard cartons for you to use to return your spent cylinders. All you have to do is jump online and request a collection, which won’t cost you a cent.

Obviously, we’d love for you to purchase our Crystella CO2 cylinders to replace the ones you’re sending back for recycling. Our cylinders are compatible with all sparkling water systems. We will accept compatible 2.2L CO2 Cylinders from Zip™, Billi™, Waterlogic™, Puretec™ & Bromic™  in your first order for return and recycle. You’ll be pleased to know that Crystella cylinders contain more gas than most other comparable Brand cylinders, which means up to 30 percent more sparkling water for you to enjoy, at no extra cost.
