Construction and demolition (C&D) waste includes materials from building, renovating, and demolishing structures, such as rock, soil, asphalt, bricks, concrete, plasterboard, timber, and vegetation. It also encompasses hazardous substances like asbestos and contaminated soil. C&D waste is not just discarded materials but a diverse array of recyclable and reusable resources.
Organic waste, from plants or animals, such as food scraps, garden waste, timber, paper, cardboard, and biosolids - can be leveraged for resource recovery and reuse, reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability.
Waste Initiatives offers a range of balers, shredders and waste compactors to help you manage your cardboard waste easily and in a profitable manner.

New technologies like pyrolysis and de-vulcanisation mean tyres can now be recycled to become tyre-derived fuels, new rubber products, playground surfaces, new tyres and rubber-modified asphalt.
Recycled timber is the most environmentally friendly form of composite timber production in Australia and New Zealand, where remnants of wooden structures and imported wooden pallets are abundant.
