The Waste Initiatives installation team was fantastic, ensuring that they mobilised the site efficiently and safely.
Problem: Inadequate segregation of C&I/C&D waste
Revert Group, a company specialising in the fit-out and refurbishment sector of commercial and industrial waste (C&I), faced a critical challenge in efficiently managing their waste streams at their facility in Brooklyn, Victoria. With a diverse range of materials generated from their operations, including construction and demolition (C&D) waste, they struggled to segregate and recycle these materials effectively. The lack of a sophisticated sorting system led to inefficiencies in their operations and resulted in a significant portion of waste being sent to landfill, contrary to their sustainability goals.
Solution: Installation of a commercial and industrial waste sorting line
Waste Initiatives addressed Revert Group’s challenges by installing a customised C&I/C&D sorting line, enabling the segregation of 16 types of waste materials. This tailored solution facilitated Revert Group’s goal of recycling 90% of its waste, significantly reducing its environmental impact and waste disposal costs.
Paul Rosenberg Vella, Director and Co-Founder of Revert Group, praised Waste Initiatives’ hands-on approach, particularly for focusing on safety and dust mitigation. Regular design meetings ensured effective communication and alignment with Revert Group’s recovery objectives. Additionally, Paul appreciated Waste Initiatives’ proactive attitude and commitment to safety during site mobilisation and project execution, which minimised operational risks.
In conclusion, the collaboration between Revert Group and Waste Initiatives exemplifies the successful integration of innovative waste management solutions to address complex challenges in the construction and refurbishment sector, ultimately leading to enhanced efficiency and sustainability in operations.

Challenge
Over 1 million mattresses are landfilled in Australia each year, despite the fact that most of their materials are recoverable. – “Planet Ark”
TIC Group, a well-established reverse logistics company headquartered in Melbourne, has addressed a long-standing environmental issue and the bane of local governments around Australia in illegal dumping of mattresses thanks to implementing a complete mattress recycling facility.
Solution
With the expertise and technology contributed by Waste Initiatives, TIC has set a recovery target of more than 85% of material from the mattresses received by the state-of-the-art facility.
Fully operational, the plant is capable of processing 450,000 mattresses per annum.
The Victorian facility, located in Tottenham, has been operational since 2016 and is processing more than 60 mattresses an hour.

The system allowed the customer to be able to recover expired milk from its containers with sufficient quality and purity to be saleable to livestock producers and also recover saleable recyclable packaging free from milk residue to sell to plastic recyclers.
Challenge
Lion is one of Australasia’s largest food and beverage companies, employing over 7,000 people across Australia and New Zealand.
Their milk processing division in Queensland contacted Waste Initiatives to discuss options for a system to separate expired milk products from the recyclable containers enabling them to sell the milk to livestock producers and sell the recyclable plastic to a recycler.
The plastic containers would need to have the uncontaminated liquid extracted, whilst washing the containers and packaging them for collection by the recycler.
Their current production needed to continue while this process was in action.
Solution
Waste Initiatives supplied a system that would shred the full containers and release the milk draining it through a strainer into a stainless steel receival tank below, to then be pumped out for transport.
The shredded containers were conveyed via a screw auger fitted with internal water jets with sufficient flow to wash the shredded plastic but not dilute the milk unduly.
These washings also drained into the stainless- steel tank below. The shredded plastic exiting the screw conveyor was baled in a WastePac twin chamber baler so that production could continue while full bales were being tied off.

I can vouch for the efficiency of these Roto Compactors. Great units, Craig! Keep making those great compactors, and associated equipment. You Guys have a great product, and good back up.
Challenge
Ideally nestled in the heart of Hillsdale, on Bunnerong Road, Southpoint Shopping Centre provides convenience, a variety of quality fresh food operators, cafe, beauty and health, fashion and service retailers along with a food court. It also boasts a full-line Woolworths, Aldi, TK Maxx, Chemist Warehouse and over 25 specialty stores.
Remondis were engaged by Southpoint Shopping Centre to supply waste services for the centre. Space being at a premium, the waste consolidation zone was very restricted in both available footprint and access.
Increasing general waste and cardboard waste streams were becoming a significant challenge.
Solution
Remondis turned to Waste Initiatives as their equipment specialist for recommendation of a compact solution to manage the increasing general waste and cardboard volumes the site was generating.
After a site assessment and detailed measure- up was completed, Waste Initiatives equipment specialists recommended a high-force 15m3 RP30 waste compactor & bin lifter combination for the general waste, and a special purpose APS1100 Roto-Compactor for the cardboard waste stream.
The installation was an overwhelming success, freeing up additional space and reducing the centre’s cost of waste managment thanks to the high bin payloads of up to 10T!

We purchased a WastePac 100 baler from Waste Initiatives to help with our waste management. We were experiencing high volumes of cardboard and plastic wrapping and needed to compact them to a bale to save on space and reduce the amount of waste collections. The baler is an asset to the supermarket and easily managed by the staff.
Challenge
IGA Fresh Penola is an award winning supermarket in Penola South Australia offering a wide range of specialty and gourmet foods along with award winning service.
IGA Fresh Penola were looking for a way to compact their packaging waste to free up space where the empty cardboard boxes and plastics were stored and to minimise the amount of bin collections per week.
They required a machine that could handle the volume of cardboard and plastic waste that the supermarket produced whilst still being compact enough to fit in the specified area. One of the requirements was that the staff needed to be easily trained to operate the machine with minimal down time from their other tasks.
Solution
Waste Initiatives supplied a WastePac 100 Vertical Baler which is the ideal cardboard compactor for this size supermarket and the waste encountered.
It has a fully automatic bale ejector and produces a pallet sized bale which is easily handled.
The ease of feeding the cardboard boxes into the large feed opening is saving time for the staff members which is a key advantage to this robust machine.
