About the Biomass Facility

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

Once both plants are in operation, the amount of waste going to landfill will be progressively reduced from 80 percent to about 13 percent in 2007.

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

The facility will minimise disposal of waste to the existing landfill, maximise resource recovery, reduce environmental impacts of waste management activities on the site, and introduce more sustainable waste management practices.
