Repurpose It is leading the way in large-scale soil washing in Australia, operating from its state-of-the-art resource recovery precinct in Epping.
Home to two Australian-first wash plants, the facility diverts more than 1.2 million tonnes of contaminated soil and construction debris from landfill each year, proving that all resources have value and nothing should go to waste.
Turning contaminated soil into High-Value Resources
The wash plants are designed to process Category C and D soils, using an advanced system of jet washers, scrubbers, agitators, and water treatment technologies. Through this process, resources are carefully recovered, screened, and separated into usable fractions – sands, aggregates, and clays.
Quality Assurance and Compliance
Repurpose It’s in-house team of environmental and technical specialists ensures that all recovered products undergo rigorous testing. Every material is assessed against EPA requirements and leading industry standards including VicRoads and the Water Services Association of Australia.
This guarantees that recovered materials can return to market as:
- Type A and B structural clays
- Capping materials
- Class 2, 3, and 4 quarry products
- Sand
By producing high-quality recycled resources, Repurpose It reduces the reliance on virgin materials and supports more sustainable construction practices.
Meeting Victoria’s Growing Demand
Victoria’s demand for extractive resources is rapidly increasing. The Victorian Extractive Resources Strategy highlights “urgent need for Government to take action to secure the high-quality resources needed to meet Victoria’s current and future infrastructure and affordable housing requirements.”
Recycled materials are critical to bridging this gap. Repurpose It’s wash plants play a vital role in supplying high-quality alternatives, helping to meet infrastructure demand while protecting the environment.
Creating End-to-End Value
Through its onsite blending plant, Repurpose It can transform recovered outputs into engineering-grade products tailored to precise specifications. This closed-loop approach not only accelerates the reuse of recovered resources but also builds trusted partnerships with state and local governments and major infrastructure projects. By doing so, Repurpose It enables its customers to meet their sustainability and circular economy goals.
