About the Biomass Facility

The new, $20 million Biomass Facility uses state-of-the-art technology that can turn organic and mixed waste into resources such as fuel and compost.

The amount of waste going to landfill from domestic bin collections is estimated to have dropped to less than 25%. That means that more than 75% of materials from the three bins is recovered and saved from going to landfill.

The Biomass Facility processes waste to recover resources such as recyclables, compost, fuel pellets and soil enriching products.

The facility minimises disposal of waste to the existing landfill, maximises resource recovery, reduces environmental impacts of waste management activities on the site, and introduces more sustainable waste management practices.
