As Tasmania continues to pursue circular economy outcomes, expanding local resource recovery infrastructure is critical to reducing waste and creating new markets for recycled materials.

Tyrecycle engaged Era to lead the environmental and planning approvals required to expand its Bridgewater recycling facility. The project sought to double processing capacity and introduce new infrastructure to manufacture tyre-derived fuel products for local use.

Era prepared the Environmental Effects Report, coordinated specialist assessments and managed engagement with regulators across multiple approval pathways.

The approved expansion supports increased resource recovery, reduces reliance on landfill and interstate transport, and strengthens Tasmania’s capacity to process waste materials locally.

Project Highlights
