Our facility has been designed to receive and handle a wide range of construction, demolition and industrial waste material. Soil excavated material, concrete waste, timber and plasterboard and more, are all able to be recycled and repurposed at ReProcess Tas.
As the Waste Levy has been implemented, now is the time to start looking at new method and means for your construction waste disposal.
Concrete Waste and Bricks
Our facility ensures both products are reprocessed for ornamental landscaping applications, plus base materials, to be used for under concrete slab base preparation, pavement sub-bases always as a substitute for virgin rock products.
Rock and Excavated Stone Waste
Much like concrete and brick, excavated rock and stone is the source of inexpensive aggregate for gravel sub-base pavement materials, again replacing quarry excavated products.
Timber Waste
Most timber is generated from demolition works, therefore, there is a large limited sustainability for recovered timber to be re-used as prime materials. Where this is not achievable, we are able to develop timber waste into charcoal and carbon for landscape loam material value adding.
Recyclable Materials
All metal products received can be recycled with 100% recovery. Reinforcing metals are recovered during concrete reprocessing, with our concrete processers having magnetic belts that separate steel items during concrete screening. Demolition steel is separated and recovered as received into our facility.
Asphalt Waste
Asphalt material is generated through the civil road construction sector, being 4% bitumen and 96% aggregate. It is 100% recyclable.
Our facility can ensure received product is reprocessed with profiled asphalt material used for building site and private pavement works, plus excavated and mixed waste asphalt is able to be blended with concrete for road base, again replacing quarry excavated products.
Waste Soil and Sand
This material is also able be recovered from civil and site preparation works.
Both materials can be processed as high value materials, both replacing the need for purposely sourced excavated materials in landscaping and construction works.
Waste and Demolition Plasterboard
This material is received mainly from the construction and building industry. It is usually difficult to separate from timber and mixed materials.
This material is processed with the gypsum product able to be blended with and used for value adding loam landscaping products.
Non-Destructive Hydro Excavated Material Waste
One of the growth areas of recycled material generation is water pressure suction excavated materials from construction, service and communication service maintenance requirements.
Our facilities washing and screening plant is able to remove and separate sludge from the sand and aggregate stone for high quality reprocessed material recovery.
Plastic Recycling
ReProcess Tas is not currently equipped to conduct plastic recycling. However, we are exploring avenues that will allow us to acquire the necessary equipment to add this to our facility. A major cause of environmental pollution, the ability to conduct plastic recycling is a high priority for ReProcess Tas in order to provide the most valuable and sustainable services we can to the Tasmanian construction industry.
