Worlds largest recycling plant opening in Sydney
The world’s largest dry – mixed recycling facility is opening in Sydney. When it reaches full capacity in July 2021 it is expected to process up to 300 tonnes of materials a day.
It has cost $100 million and employed around 400 during it’s construction. It will employ around 100 people when fully operational. The New South Wales waste levy has provided some of the funding for the project.
The Eastern Creek facility will process a variety of materials including those from the construction and demolition industry and the commercial and industrial sectors which make up a large proportion of our waste.
This facility is good news for New South Wales and Australia as it will reduce some of the need currently to export material to be recycled in other countries.
If businesses can increase their recycling, the amount of material going into facilities like this one at Eastern Creek will be reduced.
Planet Ark has just released it’s new “ A Simple Guide to Workplace Recycling Stardom”.
This guide will help all types of businesses significantly increase their recycling and reduce their waste.
