Veolia and Department of Defence collaboration utilises WasteMaster
The ongoing 10-year collaboration between Veolia and the Department of Defence continues to deliver benefits not just for the environment, but also for the broader Australian economy. In implementing over 50 different waste and recycling waste streams across Defence sites nationally, Veolia has sought and identified locally made solutions that are boosting local manufacturing.
As a result, WasteMaster from Green Eco Technologies has been utilised by Veolia as an on-site solution to divert food waste away from landfill, and is now being rolled out across regional Defence sites in Victoria. From composting products, worm farms and soldier flies, to onsite technology such as digestors and dehydrators, the collaboration is delivering for the environment and the Australian economy.
Anthony Roderick, Veolia’s chief operating officer for environmental services, said connecting with local manufacturers has been especially valuable in maximising the social and environmental benefits of Veolia’s best-practice waste optimisation program.
“If there’s one thing we know about waste is that we all need to work together to deliver impact at pace,” he said. “Veolia is proud to be teaming up with a range of like-minded, Australian-owned businesses to provide tailored food waste solutions to tackle the challenges head-on. In doing so, we’re not only diverting waste from landfill, but supporting local jobs and manufacturing, promoting operational efficiencies for Defence and reducing the organisation’s costs.
We can achieve ecological transformation and boost local manufacturing at the same time, making the transition towards the circular economy all the more rewarding,” he concluded.
