The new project is one of the largest Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste recovery sites in Australia. The Rino facility is designed to achieve market-leading landfill diversion and recovery rates of up to 99%, with a processing capacity of 475 tonnes per hour. Recovered C&D materials will be recycled by Rino Recycling into a range of high-quality sand, fill, road bases, and aggregate materials, which will be supplied back into new construction projects.

The Pinkenba project forms part of a multi-million Australian dollar capital investment programme by Rino Recycling to meet the growing demand for material recovery and recycling in South East Queensland. This comes on the back of Australian government environmental regulations to support increased recovery rates and diversion from landfills, including a new landfill levy in Queensland,
which is planned to increase annually. Significant growth in construction activities as part of a 25-year development plan for the region is also driving recycling demand for waste construction materials, including major transportation, port and waterfront development, and leisure facilities in and around. Brisbane High levels of construction activities are expected to continue in preparation for the Olympic Games, which will be hosted in Brisbane in 2032.

Working with our Australian sales partners, The Environmental Group Limited (EGL WASTE SERVICES) (exclusive supplier of Turmec products and services in Australia), this project follows our successful delivery of a major waste construction materials processing facility for Bingo Industries at Eastern Creek, just outside Sydney, in 2021.
