On average, every Australian throws out 650 kilograms of general waste per year. That’s almost two and a half tonnes for a household of four.

From truck to tip.

Weekly, household rubbish is collected and taken to landfill. As the waste decomposes, chemical and microbial activity create landfill gas.

The gas contains 40-60% methane, a source of energy with extraordinary potential. It is captured and funnelled through a 4.7km pipeline.

The gas is conditioned, treated and used to fire the kilns at Austral Brickworks. In fact, it contributes up to 85% of the total energy required.

This process helps to create 130 million bricks every year. That’s enough to build around 145,000 homes for families.

We’re using landfill gas to put energy back into the grid and power thousands of Melbourne homes.

We're turning used oil into the base oil used to create of a range of high-quality products.

We're helping farmers to nourish their crops and put food back on our shelves.
