1. The document discusses opportunities for German equipment suppliers in Australia's growing waste management industry. 2. It notes that the waste management industry in Australia is worth $14.2 billion annually and is growing at 7% per year, but faces challenges like limited landfill space and increasing waste generation. 3. Significant funding opportunities exist in New South Wales, including $465 million for waste and recycling infrastructure projects from the state government.

Opportunities for German equipment suppliers in Australia
- 1. Opportunities for German Equipment Suppliers in Australia! Grant Musgrove, Chief Executive Officer
- 2. About ACOR • Australia’s peak representative of the resource recovery and recycling industry • Advocate on behalf of the industry to influence government policy and decision making • Companies such as:
- 3. Australian Waste Industry Snapshot • $14.2 billion per year! • 2,846 waste management facilities across Australia • Growing at 7% p/a!!! $$$$$++
- 4. Challenges • Limited landfill airspace – 2016/2019 • Complexity of wastes • High cost of landfill – In NSW, the landfill gate fee > $200 AU per tonne
- 5. Increasing Waste Generation 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 Waste generated Population GVA Source: ABS Waste Account 2013
- 6. Federation Government Federal Government (Legislation, Policy and Planning) State/ Territory Government (Legislation, Policy and Regulation) Local Government (Local planning, Contract management and Operations) Contractor and Operator (Collection, Consolidation & Transfer Material Sorting, Material Processing & Treatment and Disposal Supporting Operations (Products & Services)
- 7. Federal National Waste Policy • Product Stewardship Act 2011 – mobile phones, mercury- containing lamps, tyres, TVs and Computers, Used Oil – > New products will come under this act with waste generators becoming liable parties
- 8. Significant Opportunities in NSW $466m Waste Less, Recycle More $250m Waste and Recycling Infrastructure $70m organic infrastructure $15m recycling innovation fund $35m business recycling program $60m infrastructure fund to support communities $70m household problem wastes $137.7m local council programs $58m illegal dumping $20m tackling littering $465 million (AUD) government infrastructure funding
- 9. Shredder floc market overview • Primarily from the recovery of end- of- life vehicle (ELVs) and white goods • Estimated volumes: ~700, 000 tonnes per year • No establish market: either landfilled (5%) or export overseas • What to do with the floc??????
- 10. Potential market Challenges Use in a non- load bearing cement material, e.g. a fascia product Required a significant amount of pre- processing to improve particle consistency and product quality Use of the finer inert shredder floc fraction in road base or asphalt production, as a substitute for virgin sand The shredder floc is potentially contaminated with volatile hydrocarbons. Vapours and fumes would likely be produced during asphalt production. The material is likely to require treatment prior to use in asphalt. The cost is likely incompetitive compared to the price of substitue materials, e.g. virgin sand or recycled glass sand. Use of the coarser fraction (i.e. plastic, rubber and textiles) in energy from waste Limited technology is currently available in AUS
- 11. State- based container deposit schemes (CDS)
- 12. Opportunities for Energy from Waste (EfW) Gas $$ EfW= $$
Editor's Notes
- Notes: The total waste generation in Australia was 53.7 million tonnes in 2011-12, in which 24.9 million tonnes is to landfill. The amount of waste generated in NSW has increased from 11.8 million tonnes in 2002- 03 to 17.1 million tonnes in 2010-11.
- Federal: direct national priority and policy according to international treaties State and Territory: Set, implement and regulate waste policy and practices \ Local governments: undertake waste management activities under national/ state and territory legislation and regulations Waste contractor and operator: private businesses supplied over 53% of the waste management services and 26% by local councils. The remaining 11% of services were provided by businesses not primarily taking waste management, much of it by the construction industry. (ABS 2013).
- - Global Renewable was allocated $5m funding through the AWT infrastructure fund to add fuel manufacture to its mechanical biological treatment facility
- Limited capacity in AUS for processing of secondary metals, metal recycling is being processed in offshore markets, e.g. China Inability to recover mixed plastics from floc
- - EfW is widely used in many other countries but not yet in AUS - Growing interest in EfW as part of the long- term solution for the increasing amount of municipal solid waste - States, incl. NSW, VIC and QLD have rolled out their Energy from Waste policy - Gas prices are increasing - EfW projects derive a considerable part of revenue from energy sales
- - Capital cities in Australia are facing limited airspace and high landfill cost - Government is will fund companies who purchase capital equipment/technologies that radically increases in recovery rates - Market opportunities for shredder floc, automated container deposit scheme technology and EfW are BIG opportunities for German companies
