We are very proud to announce that last Wednesday night Re.Group and our joint venture partner, Southern Region Waste Resource Authority (SRWRA), received from the Society of Chemical Industry the 2023 Plant of the Year Award for Australia. Key to this plant’s success was the alignment of vision, both parties share the belief that there should be no waste – no resource should ever be destined for disposal. Behind our vision, we took action to ensure the most affordable service for the local community we worked very hard to secure Commonwealth and State funding for, to assist with the capital cost for the facility. SRWRA provided a site and promptly went about securing the required planning approvals and building a magnificent industrial shed to house the plant. In parallel, our RDT Engineering team designed a plant that would set new standards in the Australian and International recycling industry. Our key technology, engineering and equipment partners at Machinex is arguably the most innovate company in the Recycling industry. The goal which had not been achieved in Australia previously was for all products from the MRF to be at a 98% purity. To put this in context, despite some of the best education programs and concerted efforts by the member councils and SRWRA, the average level of contamination in the material presented to the plant for recycling is around 12% to 15%. In addition, there are 10 different materials we are trying to sort and reorder into products: cardboard, mixed paper, glass, ferrous metal, aluminium, PET clear, PET coloured, HDPE milk, HDPE coloured, Polypropylene and a mixed plastic. We would also like to acknowledge the significant sacrifices made by many people during the COVID era to bring this plant to fruition and our operating team that every day respect the community by ensuring the resources they present for recycling are recycled.

Great to see our team working with other waste providers to spread the word about responsible recycling.   As we all know, wish-cycling is a problem in New Zealand, with people throwing items in their recycling bin hoping it will be recycled, despite there being no way it can be.   Branch Manager Tracy Reuben has shared this video which shows our WM trucks delivering Hutt City Council’s recycling to Oji Fibre Solutions, as well as some very important messages to the public:  - Non-recyclable items in the recycling stream can contaminate the entire load, making it unusable. It can also damage the sorting equipment. - Sorting facilities have to spend extra time and resources removing non-recyclables, slowing down the entire recycling process. - There are people who have to deal with the dirty items that you throw into your recycling! https://lnkd.in/gyA22C3q

Today the NSW Independent Planning Commission refused the development application for a plastics recycling facility in Moss Vale. The IPC released the following statement, together with their detailed Statement of Reasons which can be found on their website: https://lnkd.in/gR59fST2 Reasons included that the proposed facility would "unreasonably conflict" with other land uses in the area, including Garvan's Australian BioResources facility.

The Scottish Government has granted planning approval for a new tyre recycling facility in Linwood, Renfrewshire, to address the growing challenge of waste tyres across the country. The facility, operated by Renfrewshire-based SSH Recycling, is reportedly the first of its kind in the UK and is designed to “recycle or repurpose every component part of waste tyres”. https://lnkd.in/e7Kx_mwH

"Paper and glass trade associations come out against commingled collections". This is one of the several reasons why nearly all of our local authorities run a separate dry recycling collection system using three containers, or are in the process of switching to it. We have a municipal recycling rate that is the second highest in the world according to Eunomia Consulting. Also, as of 6 April this year all non-domestic premises in Wales have to present their dry recyclables separately in three separate streams. Co-mingling/DMR is not allowed for wastes from non-domestic premises. Compositional analysis for Wales in 2022 showed around 20% contamination in co-mingled recyclate.

UK is a very good case study for its MSW treatment strategy throughout the years, with some Dos and Don'ts that can help Greece navigate and improve its performance in a sector in which we are unfortunately EU laggers. SR of DEFRA is a really interesting scheme to keep an eye on, aiming to enhance source separation, a challenge that Greece will have to conquer in order to accomplish its really ambitious lanfilling targets for 2030 and 2035. We cannot afford to lose another day of massively landfilling and not fully utilizing valuable products, resources and materials that could be reused, recycled or valorized to produce energy. #veolia #regeneration #ecologicaltransformation

Simpler Recycling (SR) will start on 31st March 2025 and with only five months to go, we are awaiting the final details from DEFRA. We are keeping a close eye on SR’s progress through Parliament and will post here as well as keeping our dedicated web page updated! Are you aware of the new legislation that will transform recycling in England? ♻ DEFRA's new Simpler Recycling legislation is designed to end the confusion of what can and can't be recycled, for businesses and households alike. All businesses and other non-household premises with 10 or more full-time employees must separate plastic, paper and card, glass, metals and food waste from general waste, helping to save valuable resources from going to waste and supporting a circular economy. We are still awaiting confirmation from DEFRA regarding whether these materials will be collected separately (single-stream) or if dry mixed recyclables will be co-mingled in one container. In either scenario, food waste must still be separated from recycling and general waste from the “go live” date. DEFRA is also reviewing the date when businesses with less than 10 full time employees will need to be compliant by (currently in draft proposed as 31st March 2027). These details sit under the Draft Separation of Waste (England) (No. 2) Regulations which were due to be tabled at The House of Lords on Monday 28th October. This is being delayed on a daily basis and our Policy Team is monitoring this closely. We will keep you updated as soon as it has been confirmed.
