Shifting the focus. From recycling - to reducing and re-using
South Australia leads the nation in the recycling rate for construction & demolition waste. Currently around 93% is diverted from landfill, and this is forecast to increase as we approach 2030.
While commendable, the diverted portion includes a significant amount of building material that could (and should) be reduced and re-used, rather than recycled.
Waste Not focuses on recovering material in its highest value form. This makes a higher level of re-use possible, while our reporting allows future waste to be reduced.
Increasing South Australia's circular rate, with every piece of re-use
The overarching goal of Green Industries’ 2025-2030 Waste Strategy is to double South Australia’s circularity rate by 2035 (currently 4.6%).
Waste Not's material re-use program directly supports this goal, as all material supplied by Waste Not is 100% circular.
Based in Adelaide, we are proudly supporting South Australia's circular economy.
Environmental leadership, backed by measurable, verifiable, impact
The built environment is responsible for nearly 40% of the world’s raw material use. But with Waste Not's material recovery, reporting, reduction and re-use, we're actively reducing that.
