Repurpose It is upgrading their existing soil washing plant's capacity to optimise recovery, diversify waste treatment and improve quality of the outputs.
Background
Repurpose It is investing in equipment to optimise and upgrade their 2 soil washing plants located at the Epping site with the aim to diversify their hazardous waste recovery capabilities and improve quality of recoverable material for reintegration into commercial and industrial construction projects.
The project will treat Category B, C and D contaminated soils, oily waste waters, sludges and slurries and also increase capabilities to treat low level PFAS in soils, making it commercially viable to treat and divert this waste from landfill.
Objectives
- Process and divert from landfill reportable priority wastes including Category B and Category C contaminated soils and PFAS contaminated soils.
- Increase existing processing capacity and improve the quality of recovered products for reintegration into the market including precious materials replacing virgin quarry materials.
- Support economic development opportunities through direct and indirect job creation, servicing demand of large-scale hazardous soil projects and creating new opportunities through expanding R & D and collaboration with research institutions.
