Alex Fraser Group opens world best practice recycling facility
The world's most advanced construction and demolition (C&D) materials recycling facility has been officially opened by the Premier of Victoria the Hon. John Brumby MP in Melbourne on Wednesday 18 November.
The $45 million Western Metropolitan Recycling Facility, owned and operated by the Alex Fraser Group, brings together some of the smartest design and most innovative technology available to deliver a massive boost to C&D recycling capacity in Victoria.
According to the Alex Fraser Group Managing Director Jamie McKellar the new plant will recycle up to one million tonnes of C&D materials each year, nearly a third of Victoria's entire C&D recycling effort in 2007-08 from just one plant.
“We used the combined experience and expertise of our team to custom-build this plant to achieve new standards in productivity, operator safety, energy efficiency and product quality,” he said.
“This will not only deliver good results of our company, but will help Victoria achieve new levels of resource recycling and ultimately help reduce the state's carbon emissions score on infrastructure developments," he said.
