Circular economies for master-planned communities.
For developers who want waste handled as part of the estate, not left to each builder: recovered, recycled and put back to work in the community.
For developers
Australia produces around 30 million tonnes of construction waste a year, and each new home sends roughly two tonnes of materials straight to landfill: bricks, concrete, timber, plasterboard, steel, tiles, plastics and cardboard.
Some of Australia's largest property developers choose RSS to run waste across a whole estate, from before construction through to completion, so the community starts life with less in landfill and cleaner streets.
- 01
Built into the land purchase
At Ginninderry the waste service is included in the land purchase, at no extra cost to buyers or builders.
- 02
A local depot in the estate
Where the estate warrants it, a dedicated depot positioned within the community keeps truck movements short.
- 03
Materials back to work
Recovered material is redirected to other sites and community projects, and specialist recyclers take the rest.
- 04
Reporting for the developer
Diversion figures across the estate, so sustainability targets are measured rather than promised.
