Collie, WA Resource Recovery Centre Household Forest Waste
Collie's collaboration with Renergi resulted in a waste-to-energy facility within its landfill. Household, forest, and agriculture waste will be converted into byproducts like biochar and wood vinegar for local industries. The Resource Recovery Centre can process 1.5 tons of waste per hour with an emission savings of up to 18,000 tons per year. An estimated 12,000 tons of waste will be diverted from landfills each year and help Collie transition away from coal-fired power plants by 2030.
