COMPANY PROFILE

SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE RECOVERY SOLUTIONS ONE OF THE GREATEST CHALLENGES TODAY IN CONSERVING OUR ENVIRONMENT IS TO ’CLOSE THE LOOP’ ON RESOURCE USAGE. SITA IS RE-DIRECTING THE PERCEPTION OF WASTE TOWARDS RECOVERY AND REUSE SO AS TO SUPPORT THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY.

S

ITA provides innovative solutions for the collection, sorting, reuse/recycling, recovery, treatment and safe disposal of waste generated by our customers.

MATERIAL RECOVERY FOR REUSE AND RECYCLING SITA recovers numerous recyclable materials from the waste collected, including paper and cardboard, plastics, glass, metals, timber, batteries and electrical equipment.

COLLECTION AND SORTING DOMESTIC (MUNICIPAL) WASTE We provide reliable and cost effective collection services to suit the needs of local authorities, including unparalleled management tools for benchmarking, monitoring, cost control and environmental reporting.

COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL AND CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION WASTES We optimise sorting and recovery, create value and reduce the environmental impact of our customers by offering responsible, customised, sustainable and costeffective waste management solutions.

ENERGY RECOVERY Dry materials such as mixed plastics, timbers and textiles can also be recovered. These dry items have a high level of embedded energy and through our SITA-ResourceCo Advanced Resource Recovery (ARRT) facility are turned into alternative fuels for use in existing power stations or cement kilns.

The feedstock materials are sourced from construction activities, refurbishments and site fit-outs, manufacturing facilities and other pre-sorted waste streams.

DISPOSAL While we aim to maximise the volume of waste that is sent for recycling and resource recovery, when hazardous or non-hazardous waste cannot be recovered, it must be treated and disposed of under acceptable environmental conditions.

SITA owns and operates Australia’s most highly engineered landfills.

Our landfill operations are carefully designed to minimise the amount of space used. This maximises the operational lifetime of the landfill and limit the environmental and social impacts of landfilling.

Biogas produced as waste breaks down is captured and used to generate green electricity that is fed into the power grid.

EDUCATING THE COMMUNITY SITA provides quality education resources to help our customers and the community learn more about the importance of sustainable resource recovery.

This includes guided tours of our facilities, school recycling, waste education programs, waste audits, technical forums to discuss emerging issues, and tailored programs to suit individual customer needs.

ADVANCED RESOURCE RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY (ARRT) FACILITIES ARRTs offer a more sustainable, higher order resource recovery solution than waste disposal methods such as conventional landfills, bioreactor landfills and incineration. Using specialist technologies, our facilities recover and recycle valuable resources back into the economy. Organics can be composted for use in mine sites and other rehabilitation projects to replenish severely degraded soils, while dry materials can be manufactured into alternative fuels that replace fossil fuels in our customers' industrial furnaces.

SITA owns and operates 7 ARRT facilities around the country – approximately half of all the ARRT facilities in Australia.

ORGANIC RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITIES SITA Organic Resource Recovery Facilities are open-air composting systems that only accept sourceseparated organic material, such as garden organics, liquid grease trap and some commercial organic feedstocks, including timber and sawdust.

These materials are processed into high quality compost products for use in agriculture, and public open spaces such as sporting fields and park garden beds, which improves the social amenities of local communities. Other quality composted products are used to improve soil fertility and reduce the environmental harm associated with chemical fertiliser and pesticide usage in vegetable, fruit and wine production.

SITA IS COMMITTED TO USING EFFECTIVE, EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE WAYS TO RECYCLE AND RECOVER RESOURCES FROM ALL THE WASTE STREAMS GENERATED

BY OUR CUSTOMERS.

Kemps Creek

ENGINEERED LANDFILLS SITA recognises that landfills play an important and necessary part in managing Australia's waste. Even ARRTs generate some residual waste which must be disposed of safely.

Chullora

MATERIALS RECYCLING FACILITIES (MRF) A MRF is where collection vehicles unload recyclable materials, such as plastic containers, aluminium cans, glass, paper and cardboard, that have been collected from residential or commercial premises. The materials are manually and mechanically sorted, baled and sent as commodities to global markets.

Hampton Park

RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITIES A Resource Recovery Facility provides a consolidation point for unsorted material collected from residential or commercial premises and public dropoff facilities. Some resource recovery takes place through segregation and/or processing onsite.

Material that is unable to be processed onsite is loaded into larger vehicles for transportation to an ARRT, MRF or an Organic Resource Recovery Facility.

Residual materials are transported to landfill.

Often transfer stations start out as a site for the temporary acceptance of waste and, through the introduction of sorting and processing techology, become Resource Recovery Facilities.

Secure, engineered landfills are the community’s best environmental management option for waste that cannot yet be recycled or reused. SITA owns and operates Australia’s most highly engineered solid waste landfills.

Biogas generated from organic waste that breaks down at SITA’s landfills is captured and converted into electricity.

Long-term care, through ongoing monitoring of capped and closed landfills, is an important part of SITA’s commitment to environment protection and rehabilitation programs.

TRANSFORMING ORGANIC WASTE INTO VALUABLE RESOURCES WE DELIVER AN ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE SOLUTION FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF FOOD AND GARDEN ORGANICS, ENSURING THAT NUTRIENTS ARE RETURNED TO THE EARTH TO PROMOTE FUTURE PLANT GROWTH.

THE ARRT OF ORGANICS

®

SITA operates numerous large scale composting facilities across Australia.

We are the largest processor of urban generated food and garden organics, producing around 500,000 tonnes of high quality compost every year. Our sites follow rigorous quality assurance processes to ensure maximum product quality.

The SITA Organics range of high-quality organic composts, mulches and soil conditioners offers a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilisers for application on sporting fields and park garden beds; vegetable, fruit and wine production; agricultural crops and pasture; road and mine-site rehabilitation; and home gardens.

Choosing sustainable products for Australian soils reduces our impact on the environment by: • Naturally replenishing nutrients; • Reducing water usage; • Reducing dependence on chemical fertilisers and pesticides; • Conserving virgin soils; and • Supporting 'closed-loop' solutions that divert these valuable resources from landfill.

MAKING THE PLANET SUSTAINABLE IS THE BEST JOB ON EARTH PRESERVING THE ENVIRONMENT HAS NOW BECOME A MAJOR GLOBAL ISSUE. WHETHER OUR CUSTOMERS ARE COMMERCIAL OR MUNICIPAL, WE CAN HELP THEM IMPROVE THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE.

W

e are proud to be able to provide environmental solutions to support communities, individuals, businesses and councils in their choice to live and operate sustainably.

SITA is committed to improving environmental and social outcomes for our business, our customers and the communities which we service.

CONSERVE NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENGAGE IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY • Optimise recycling and recovery rates From the waste generated by our customers, SITA strives to increase the proportion which is reused, recycled or recovered. The forms of waste that cannot be converted into resources are disposed of under conditions that respect the environment.

SITA not only provides environmental services essential for the population's well-being, we also manage natural resources by re-introducing them into the economy in the form of re-usable materials and energy.

INNOVATE TO RESPOND TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES • Improve energy efficiency through all operations • Increase and promote renewable energy generation • Reduce the degradation of soils Climate change and soil degradation are two major environmental challenges facing us today. As a socially responsible company and a leader in resource recovery, SITA innovates to respond to these environmental challenges.

Our landfills are equipped with biogas capture systems and we are constantly adding to the number of our collection vehicles running on alternative fuels (Soy Biodiesel and CNG).

SITA also contributes to avoided greenhouse gas emissions through material recovery, organics recovery and alternative fuel production.

The principal threats to which Australian degraded soils are exposed include erosion, reduction in organic matter and soil structure.

Soil degradation can be reduced and reversed through the use of compost. Through constant innovation, SITA contributes to increasing the recovery of valuable food and garden organics by processing them into recycled organic products for beneficial reuse on Australia's depleted soils.
