The Doylo helps fight for the future one bottle at a time

Doyalson-Wyee RSL has achieved “staggering” results at the Return and Earn station on its grounds.

CEO Darren Thornton said installing the station was a responsible and easy decision, further demonstrating the club’s commitment to sustainable waste reduction.

A report presented by Tomra for 2023 revealed that the Doylo’s station had seen 26 million containers recycled since it was installed five years ago – the equivalent of 272 years of household energy consumption, 61 Olympic swimming pools filled, 163 garbage trucks filled and 1154 cars off the road for a year in emission reductions.

Thornton said the impact was significant.

“This recycling process impact equated to 262,348 trees being planted and 174,852,650kgs of carbon emissions avoided,” he said.

“The scheme also returned $2M in refunds back into the community.”

The Doylo Lifestyle Group acknowledges that the climate crisis is real, and action is needed to reduce their carbon footprint.

They are confident and well positioned to deliver environmentally sustainable practices with the goal of driving towards net zero emissions in an achievable and realistic time frame.

Chief Commercial Officer Brett Elliss said it was all about designing a better future with a responsible and ethical approach, looking at the big picture and the club’s responsibility in the community, region, country and world to leave it a better place.

“With this purpose as the driver of our business, the time to act and commit is now,” he said.

“We have commissioned a specialist ESG (environmental, social, governance) consultancy to assist in the development of our ESG statement and strategy.

“Part of this process will align our environmental goals with customer and community values.”
