Construction

The Australian construction industry generates substantial waste from materials like concrete, bricks, wood, plasterboard, asphalt, and metals, mainly due to demolition, renovation, and construction activities. Offcuts, packaging, and damaged materials also add to landfill demands.

 

Traditional disposal methods, like landfills and skip bins, incur high costs from landfill levies and transport. Recycling, especially for concrete and metals, is on the rise, with materials crushed or melted for reuse. However, limited external recycling infrastructure can reduce disposal efficiency, leading to high transport, landfill, and sorting costs.

More businesses/recycing facilities are adopting waste management solutions, like mobile crushers and specialised recycling, to cut transport costs and enhance material reuse.

 

Waste Initiatives offers static and mobile solutions, including crushers, shredders, and sorting systems that transform concrete, brick, timber, and metals into reusable resources. These high-capacity systems support sustainability and reduce disposal costs, helping Australian construction companies meet industry standards for greener practices.
