State-of-the-Art, $95M Recycling Facility Opens in Brisbane, Australia

The town of Pinkenba, Brisbane, Australia is getting a state-of-the-art recycling facility that will automatically convert construction and demolition waste into reusable materials.

The new $95 million facility will be developed by Rino Recycling, boasting a fully automated system capable of processing up to 475 tonnes of waste per hour. Due to the facility’s scale and capabilities, it has the potential to recycle over 1.5 million tonnes of waste annually with a 97 percent recovery rate.

“In under 20 minutes, a truck can go from offloading construction waste and leave with a new load of high quality, recycled products ready for the job site. It is a green, circular economy in action,” said Dan Blaser, General Manager of Rino Recycling.

An independent report claims the new recycling facility is projected to reduce carbon emissions by 55,000 tonnes per year.
