SITA operates advanced resource recovery facilities in almost every state. These facilities are purpose built to accept, process and transform materials into valuable, beneficial products for reuse.
SITA's post collection division is constantly striving to achieve better ways to recycle and recover resources from the waste stream.
When organic matter decomposes in landfill it generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas. We can combit climate change through a reduction in organic materials sent to landfill.
SITA is the Australian leader in the development and operation of composting facilities and we use a range of technologies to save source-separated organics from ending up in landfill.
BioWise
SITA's BioWise Biocell Composting facility at Kwinana in WA recycles 45,000 tonnes of homogenous or source-separated organic materials each year. It is an environmentally controlled static pile composting technology producing Australia's high grade of compost (AS4454). The BioWise composting process provides a tailored solution for the benefical reuse of biosolids, municipal garden organics and C&I solid and liquid material streams.
