Total Green is a specialized recycling company that collects, processes and
regenerates useful resources with a safe, secure and sustainable service:
Problem = E-waste
Planned Obsolescence
wastes valuable resources
E-waste is Toxic
pollutes air, water, soil & our
food chain with dioxins &
heavy metals
Recycling
Depends almost entirely on
export markets

So we started in our Dad’s Garage…
totalgreenrecycling.com.au
40,000 KG
~$200
Developed a business case & went for it
totalgreenrecycling.com.au
40,000 KG
Signed a commercial
lease & opened for
business
Early support from local
councils
• City of Bunbury
• City of Busselton
• City of Stirling
Started collecting and
processing E-waste
Next came staff, then came problems
totalgreenrecycling.com.au
40,000 KG
Recruited our friends
from university
Started to refine our
process
Pretty soon we were
over-run

• Leaded Glass – 4%
• Non Leaded Glass -7%
• Batteries -1%
• Wood (Other) -3%
• Landfill – 6%
• Total - 21%
Local Infrastructure is
lacking for remaining 79%
So that material is sent
offshore
Building Local Infrastructure
Every 1,000T of E-waste recycled
results in the creation of 9 full time
jobs
Building additional onshore
solutions will lead to further job
creation.
A circular economy needs
infrastructure and local experts to
be sustainable long term.

Key Takeaways
totalgreenrecycling.com.au
1. Local infrastructure development is critical for a sustainable circular economy
long term.
2. WA is under represented in NTCRS funding, We would like to work with the
State and local governments to attract a better deal for WA.
3. Local Governments must support local industry and ensure that E-waste
collected in WA is recycled in WA, and not shipped over east. Some LGA’s are
doing a good job, but others have plenty of room for improvement.
4. Supporting local processing infrastructure results in innovation and job
creation, and without it the circular economy cannot exist.
Thank you.
