Problem
Melbourne’s leading building recyclers and resource recovery experts
Problems with landfills are that they generate toxins that leech into our soil and ground water and become environmental hazards for many years.
Landfills:
- Generate leachate, which is toxic and pollutes land and water waste
- Produce high amounts of greenhouse gas, which is 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide
Solution
The Repurpose It Solution
No Landfills
Our investment in cutting edge technology and ability to create high value resources from waste, enables us to deliver value for money for our clients.
Our extensive experience and IP in traditionally difficult to manage waste streams, and vast logistics capability, means that we are able to provide personalised solutions to our clients.
There are six main types of waste that we work with:
- Green & Organic Waste
- Municipal Solid Waste
- Civil Construction & Infrastructural Waste
- Solid Inert Waste
- Excavation & Demolition Waste
- Drilling & Drainage Waste
Our Process
The process, otherwise known as industrial ecology, involves taking a product at the end of its lifecycle and identifying ways to transform it into a material that will be utilised at the beginning of a new lifecycle.
Waste Generation
Collection & Sorting
There are four main processing methods that we utilise:
Washing
Through advanced washing technology we are able to treat typically untreatable waste materials ending up in landfill.
Shredding
We operate a variety of shredders to convert bulky waste to resources by reducing it to a size where it can be converted to resources.
Separating
The key process in any waste to repurpose operation, separating waste by waste type is an essential process in the Repurposing journey.
Compost
The process required to convert organic waste to high grade soil and soil amendments.We also work with Australia’s leading green waste and building materials recyclers who are experts in their field in order to achieve the highest recovery rates possible.
