Resource Recovery Facilities

Veolia Environmental Services has the following Resource Recovery Facilities nationally:

• Composting: Natural Recovery Systems - involves the utilisation of food, organic and green waste which is then processed in in-vessel compost systems.
• Materials Recovery Facilities – Veolia’s Materials Recovery Facilities are used to sort recyclables including glass, plastics, metals and paper, which are then sorted and the non contaminated recyclable material is further processed and converted back into new product.
• Construction Waste Recovery Facilities – Veolia’s facilities sort materials from construction sites using both automated and manual sorting processes to recover materials such as brick, tiles and concrete. The materials are later sent to be used for road base and construction materials.
• Electronic Waste Recovery Facilities – Veolia established Australia’s first nationwide e-waste collection and recovery solution. E-waste collected for recycling undergoes a dismantling process in order to recover materials such as cabling, aluminium, copper, glass and plastics.
  
• Bioreactor Landfills – Veolia operates two Bioreactors in Australia, which are utilised to generate green energy through the capturing of biogas from municipal waste.
• Alternative Waste Processing Facilities - Alternative Waste processing Facilities are designed to provide councils for innovative technologies which will further recover recyclables, in response Veolia has developed the Woodlawn Alternative Sorting and Processing facility.
• EarthPower Technologies - Veolia recently took a share in the EarthPower food waste-to-energy facility in NSW.

Veolia also offers Recycling services for the home, business and Industry.
