What’s the difference between a Crunch account and a Containers for Change Scheme Account?

Crunch is the name of Envirobank’s rewards program. It runs only in states and territories that are supported by a Container Deposit Scheme. When you sign up to Crunch you gain access to our awesome range of rewards. As a member, every time you recycle containers at our pods, depots or other container refund points, you can collect your refund payments as Crunch credits (15 Crunch credits is equal to 10 cents). As these credits accumulate you can access bigger and better rewards, donate to charity, or can choose to cash out the balance to your bank account using our payment partners (Container for Change or PayPal)

So go on then, sign up for Crunch now. It's super fast and incredibly easy.

Alternatively, a Container for Change Scheme Account is operated through Queensland’s Containers for Change program.

When you sign up for a Scheme Account with Containers for Change you are assigned a Scheme ID, which is a 9-character alphanumeric code that allows Container Exchange (COEX) to process your payments electronically.

Crunch accounts and Scheme accounts go hand-in-hand: first, you can save your refunds in your Crunch account until you are ready to redeem them, then, you can request a payment of your Crunch credits to your bank account by providing Envirobank with your Scheme ID.
