CLEANAWAY OPENS A NEW FACILITY
CLEANAWAY Waste Management Limited (Cleanaway) has announced the opening of its state-of-the-art Western Sydney Material Recovery Facility (MRF), at Rooty Hill.
In a leap forward for the recycling and circular economy capabilities of Sydney and NSW, Cleanaway’s MRF will house advanced optical sorting technology, having the capability for up to 99.5% purity across recovered recycled material.
The new facility will improve the quality and increase the volume of resources recovered from NSW’s commingled recycling.
Using advanced technologies such as ballistic separators, optical sorting based on colour and shape, eddy currents, magnets, and wind sifting, the MRF will process up to 120,000 tonnes of commercial and residential recyclables per year.
Together with Cleanaway’s collection and post-collection assets, the MRF enables Cleanaway to offer a fully integrated solution to its customers in NSW. Cleanaway’s recycling efforts will make a significant contribution to building a domestic circular economy in Australia.
Blacktown City Council is a foundational partner in the facility
