HOW Do I RECYCLe my Samples?
Support the LOUD Intitiative, by helping keep valuable samples out of landfill.
LOUD Design Group makes sample returns simple, cost-effective and time-saving. Our collection service helps suppliers, designers and industry professionals manage unwanted samples responsibly, while supporting product stewardship and resource recovery.
Before sending samples to landfill, connect with LOUD Library. Many suppliers already have Sample Product Stewardship Programs in place, and others are joining our service as we help define a clearer pathway for capturing, returning and recirculating these valuable resources.

We all need to use samples but what happens to them once they are no longer needed?
Currently there is no national framework supporting the recircualtion of samples in Australia. There are a range of businesses offerring sample distrubution however the return of samples is often seen as a waste of time over saving resources.
LOUD Design Group has set a traceability framework study in motion. Since 2025, various samples and products have been collected through the librarina services. Learn about how you can get involved with the LOUD Traceability Project here
