Australia’s waste isn’t just waste anymore, it’s an opportunity. Across council depots, composting facilities, and green waste recovery sites, organic material is being reimagined, not as rubbish, but as a vital input for soil health, carbon reduction, and circular value. We’re proud to play a hands-on role in this transformation, delivering the technology and support needed to turn yesterday’s rubbish into tomorrow’s value.
The 2018 National Waste Policy and its follow-up Action Plan gave Australia a bold new direction. With targets to halve organic waste to landfill and recover 80% of all waste by 2030, organics like food and garden waste are in the spotlight. These aren’t fringe streams, they account for over half of municipal residual waste and generate some of the most potent methane emissions when landfilled.
That’s why every state and territory has now integrated circular economy objectives into their waste strategies. From Victoria’s goal of halving organics in landfills to New South Wales’ commitment to FOGO collection by 2030, momentum is building. Western Australia is already halfway there, with nearly 300,000 households enrolled. The message is clear: diverting organics is no longer optional, it’s essential.
Turning organic waste into quality compost isn’t as simple as piling it up and letting nature do the work. It requires a robust, precise mechanical process – from pre-processing and screening to biological treatment and final refinement. High throughput, consistent uptime, fuel efficiency, and contamination control aren’t just nice to have, they’re non-negotiable.
That’s where we step in. Through our exclusive partnerships with Komptech and Morbark, we bring world-class technology to the front lines of Australia’s organics revolution.
Take Komptech’s Crambo 5200D, for example, a low-speed, high-torque shredder that tears material apart instead of pulverising it. That means fewer microplastics, lower fuel usage (25–30% savings over hydraulic models), and better downstream sorting. Or the Topturn X6000, a windrow turner that improves aeration and retains moisture, accelerating composting while reducing emissions.
Morbark’s Wood Hog range delivers versatile grinding solutions for operations of all sizes. The 3400X and 2400X are perfect for everything from large-scale mulching to smaller municipal sites, equipped with a robust torque-limiter driveline to safeguard against the metal contamination often found in mixed FOGO streams. Stepping up the power, the 6400XT takes on high-volume processing with ease. Packed with smart controls for optimised feed and fuel efficiency, and built tough with advanced vibration protection and easy maintenance access, it’s a go-to choice for heavy-duty composting, FOGO handling, and land-clearing demands.
But machinery alone isn’t enough. We support every unit with a full circle of care with local parts, mobile technicians, and all the backing needed to keep productivity at its peak. Through our Technical Institute in Narangba, we deliver OEM training to ensure the technicians know precisely how to get the most out of each machine, safely and efficiently.
We’re proud to supply the machines that keep the sustainability cycle moving. Together with Komptech and Morbark, we’re not just processing waste, we’re building the mechanical backbone of a regenerative future.
